Lucky you, that you've made it this long before you developed floaters. I have had them for as long as I can remember. I was about 12 when I mentioned it to my father, who (uncharacteristically) panicked and took me straight to the opticians. (Turned out the reason he was concerned was because he was worried my peripheral vision was disappearing, however I digress).
You've had the appropriate assessments, you've got reassurance. Opticians look at eyes all day, every day. You can rest assured.
If the floaters are really bothering you, there is surgery available in worst case. Fluid is drained from the eyes (along with said floaters) and then replaced with saline solution. Although it's risky (goes without saying) and extreme.
Good luck
