Sucking the jelly out of my eyeballs made my annoying floaters vanish

Many people over the age of 50 will be aware of occasional floaters — these are bits of collagen (the material which holds our skin and bones together) suspended in the vitreous jelly of the eyeball.
The jelly is 99 per cent water and one per cent solid, but as we age, the solid bits clump together into visible strands and shapes. Some people experience one large floater, which can be distracting.

People can live with floaters quite easily, but in some cases they become a major irritation and need to be surgically corrected.
They can also become much worse if the vitreous jelly pulls away from the retina, the light-sensitive film lining the inside of the eye.
