Update: Saw the eye doc yesterday morning, the vitreous detachment he noted a month ago has progressed further causing the floater to appear. Not a retina tear, bleed, or detachment. Very common due to aging, nothing can be done to prevent it, nothing I can't do because of it. Will go back in 6 weeks to check things again. It will eventually stabilize and where the floater ends up in my vision field will determine if I can deal with it or do something about it.
Watch this video and try out his advice because it has worked for me. I also use MSM eye drops which have helped me out tremendously

You're saying you take the 4 supplements he mentions and went on the keto diet and your floaters disappeared?
Yup. I have dozens for decades. IN time you will forget about it and however more that appear.

Well, that's a blessing. At least you won't have to do the laser,shots, and vitrectomy route
I have floaters and after a few months I no longer see them. You probably could do something about them if you're really looking for a place to spend money.
If this is your first vitreous detachment, it wouldn't be surprising to have the other eye do the same before too long. Unfortunately you'll have to go through the same performance again to make sure it isn't a retinal detachment. The reason I emphasize ruling out a retinal detachment is because they are a real problem if not attended to very early. Relatively easy to deal with and usually with a good outcome if you deal with them early, not so easy later.
You will stop seeing your floaters in time no matter what you do.
I have retinal vein occlusion in my left eye which is being treated with injections every ten weeks. After an injection I'll see a black spot floater for a couple of days which then goes away. Other than intense irritation and bloodshot eye for the first day or so, the injections are surprisingly painless.
I did have some laser cleanup done which was not especially painful. More like getting poked in the eye by an eyelash than any real pain.
As we get older, we should all have eye exams yearly. An optometrist can spot problems, as was the case for me, and refer you to an ophthalmologist for more advanced diagnosis and treatment.
If one notices a sudden change then he should consult with at least an optometrist at once.
There are few things that I can think of that would be worse than loss of vision.
For me it ranks right up there with having a child predecease me.
