Had cataract surgery and now have floaters?

In: Health, Cataracts [Edit categories]

Answer:

A new floater after cataract surgery could indicate presence of retinal tear or hole. When associated with flashes of light or a "curtain" over the visual field, floaters are especially concerning. Retinal holes or tears may lead to retinal detachment and eventually, loss of vision, if not properly managed. Therefore, it is important to let one's eye surgeon know of any significant eye problems after surgery for early detection and treatment.
