What are eye floaters and what can you do about them?

Eye floaters appear as dark spots, threads or clumps that move (or float about – hence the name) as you move your eye. They are very common, especially in older people. If you try to look directly at a floater it may seem to disappear from your sight. They tend to become easier to see though if you look at a light background – such as a white wall or the sky.
