I had cataract surgery at 49 which went fine.
A couple months after surgery, I am seeing floaters - no pain or loss of vision but somewhat annoying.. it is like a strand that floats in and out.
The doctor said this is vitreous separation and not "uncommon" but happens to older people (I am an outlier for cataract in any case).
I swim 3-4 times a week and am fairly fit with no diabetes etc. so I'm wondering if swimming or chlorine has anything to do with this (the doctor did not think so..) ?
For folks that have had cataract surgery, have you ever seen floaters ?

My doc said nothing can be done about them. He also said extremely nearsighted people like me were more susceptible to them.😞
