According to my recollection (correct me gently if I am wrong) of an
"Amateur Scientist" column in Scientific American recently, the
floaters in the eye are usually gobs or chains of red blood cells
that have escaped into the interior of the eye.  A single red blood
cell would be too small to notice, so I don't think a mere protein
molecule (or chain of them) would be noticable.
