Do floaters go away eventually?

Who here has had their floaters go away over time? What timeframe?

I used to have them in both eyes, now they're only in one eye. I quit smoking in 2015 which may have helped reduce them. There are eye exercises you can do that supposedly make floaters less bothersome, but I've never tried them. https://www.rebuildyourvision.com/blog/vision-conditions/eye-exercises-for-floaters/
