Ask your surgeon but there is a laser that can help to eliminate them.
Typically requires surgical intervention. I would discuss this with your cataract surgeon.

Floaters can be treated with laser or surgery. The concerning part is if you haven't been seen for the floaters themselves, you're at risk of developing a retinal tear or detachment. I always recommend seeing an ophthalmologist.
