It is possible to remove them surgically, but there is significant risk for that. Most of the time they get better or become less noticeable over time if you don’t obsess over them. If you get any new ones that are different or shadows coming into your vision, it is important to be checked by an ophthalmologist to make sure you haven’t developed a retinal tear or detachment, but 95% of them do not cause any problem except for seeing them in some light conditions.
How often do I need to clean my contact lenses?
It is safest to clean and store them daily. Add that to your evening routine and it only takes a couple of minutes. You don't want to get an eye infection.
