31 years of increased number of "floaters" in both eyes...

I have had severe floaters in both eyes that have increased in number and size over the last 31 years. At age 18 whilst playing rugby i fell in Dog Faeces where soon afterwards I started seeing these floaters. Many medical professions over the years have dismissed my self diagnosis of Toxocariasis and that they are just floaters. 2016 i had POV surgery to remove floaters in left eye but didn't get the vitreous humour analysed. Now in 2022 floaters returned in left eye and become much much worse in right eye - real anxiety now and want to have right eye POV surgery and this time analysed for my long standing belief. is there any other way to confirm my suspicions other than POV and analysis of vitreous humour?
