I've been told that "floaters" which are the annoying spots that some people see in front of their eyes, are protein deposits that form on the back of your eyes. Is there any way to get rid of them?

Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye. Floaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye. Most spots and eye floaters are merely annoying but harmless when they temporarily enter the field of vision, and many fade over time. People sometimes are interested in surgery to remove floaters, but doctors are willing to perform such surgery only in rare instances. http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/spotsfloats.htm Jun 03 06, 9:19 PM
