thanks algis i now about the surgerys "vitrectomy" and "YAG-laser" but i read that:
the first option can cause extreme side effects even blindness
the second often causes even more floaters
So my personal opinion is liberation will not help but nevertheless i have hope that someone made another experience?

I, too, have an extremely large eye floater for at least 18 years. I have tried my hardiest here in Minnesota to find a Doctor willing to use laser but they won't do it due to complications. Seems it is very risky I'm told. I agree that it is so annoying & interferes with reading in that eye. If anyone knows of a Doctor willing to treat I would appreciate it, also.
got rid of my floaters.
couple months ago I had floaters for the first time-- very annoying and I went to my vitamin guy ( who I completely truct and love) who said it's a yeast thing-- what? then i did some internet research and I thought why not try it-- so I removed all sugar from my diet ( yes even fruit) for two weeks- yes it sucked-- sugar feeds the yeast- yadda yadda- anyway-- truth is-- it absolutely worked-- took a while- then one day i said to myself- hey something is different and I realized I didn't have the floaters anymore--
i swear it worked for me

I have tons of floaters and flashes due to multiple retinal detachments. I had to have surgery where a buckle was placed around my left eye as the retina was so severely detached, and had to have 3 laser surgeries on my right eye.
This did increase the floaters & flashes. My eye doctor says it's to risky to do anything about the floaters and I just have to live with them. Yes, they're damn distracting, I have to look around them & at them, but I'd rather have them than be blind, which I surely would have been if my retina surgeon wasn't so excellent.
Believe me, the flashes are worse than the floaters as it's like fireworks everytime someone turns out the light.
