  The eye floaters are usually caused by the dryness and infection from the dust or the computer radiations and so on. However, if you keep on rubbing your eyes with dirty hands, the bacterium will invisibly come into your eyes which may cause the eye infection. Thus, you'd better not rub your eyes often.
