No
This depends on the etiology of the floaters. Common, everyday floaters are usually benign and are secondary to the changes of the vitreous humor associated with aging. Floaters can also be caused by retinal tears and should be dealt with immediately to prevent a retinal detachment. Eye drops will not remove floaters.
No. Need eye exam to rule out retinal pathology.
No. Most floaters are not pathologic but see an ophthalmologist to determine the cause.
No. It is part of the aging eye.
