First, your LASIK surgeon needs to examine your eyes to check for any damage to your retina. Otherwise floaters are likely to become less noticeable over time

Some things that you might think are floaters are natural and cannot be gotten rid of. Ask your LASIK surgeon about that. If you have actual floaters, usually membrane fragments in the middle of your eye, there is work being done on modified lasers to vaporize them if they are too disturbing. This has not been perfected and there is some risk, so you need to determine if they are just annoying or interfering with your vision.
