The treatment for any western condition is to first find the underlying Chinese Medicine diagnosis which indicate that individuals primary factors towards developing said symptoms (see “treating the cause vs. the symptoms” for more on that generally).
On average eye floaters from a Chinese Medicine perspective are often related to the liver systems - particularly a diagnosis of liver qi stagnation or liver blood deficiency. To understand what is meant by the “liver” in Chinese terms, I would suggest you read (“My Liver is What?”). There are, of course, other diagnostic possibilities so proper treatment is generally best obtained by consulting directly with a practitioner in your area who can go through your entire medical history and look directly at other physical signs and symptoms that help point to you diagnosis in Chinese Medicine terms.
