  You'd better take the risk to use apple cider vinegar as eye drops in this case. Eyes are pretty sensitive, so that you need to use the safest way, such as use artificial tears. Most of the eye floaters are harmless, so they can disappear on their own. Except artificial, you have another choice. Use an injector to reduce the floaters. Fulfill the injector with pure water or physiological saline, then push the liquid into your eyes through the corner of your eyes.
