I have these and discussed it with my optometrist and his explanation is they are bits of the inner tissue lining of the eyeball that break off, typically in later years (old age) and float around in the fluid. They eventually shrink up and aren't as annoying but if you have a large one that doesn't shrink up in a few months get an exam. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about them.
