Nothing that does not involve surgery (vitrectomy). That carries a risk of detached retina, so it is not recommended unless it is interfering with day to day life.
As we age the gel of our eye (the Vitreous) starts to clump together creating age related floaters. They can also be caused by injury and auto immune issues, but those are more rare. Higher prescriptions get more as well.
They move and the lighting will impact them differently. On bright days they are more noticeable just due to more internal light reflection.
Get your eyes checked if you have new floaters or flashes of light accompanying the floaters.
