Floaters are more common with active people, older populations and those with higher prescriptions.
Once you have floaters there is no real safe way to remove them. Some specialists will do a Vitrectomy for floaters, but those are typically only in extreme cases. The surgery itself carries a high risk of causing a retinal tear/break/detachment. You will also see claims, out of the US, of clinics than can use a Laser to dissolve floaters. This is also dangerous and the laser can cause permanent vision loss.
Long story short, best thing you can do is ignore them as much as possible and let your brain "Photoshop" the floaters out of the image.

That's pretty well what my eye doctor said. Always good to get a 2nd opinion though. Mine just came out of nowhere a couple of years ago so something I haven't have to live with until recently and I just find them super annoying. Thanks for answering.
