most floaters are nothing more than motes of dust caught in the tears on the surface of the eye. i don't mean the sinister inside-the-eye kind. easy way to tell the difference... if it tends to stay kind of static then it's on the inside(brownian motion overcoming gravity). if it floats generally downwards and is normally only visible in bright light then it's just dust on the surface. either way there's fuck all can be done and it probably won't kill you!
