   Why can't they suck the goo out of your eyeballs, filter out all the shit and crap that causes floaters and then squirt it back in again?

     Yes, it was not an entirely serious suggestion, of course

     @matthewconroy @botvolution It has that effect (I had one during retinal surgery), but they won't do it just for floaters; it's too dangerous.

     @botvolution @matthewconroy My retina specialist told me that she'd had people ask for a vitrectomy to get rid of floaters and refused, so it's not like people don't actually think about doing it.
