Dear Debra
I would recommend that you should contact your mother's doctor to determine whether the floaters are of a concern. If you mother's vision is reduced, she sees a sudden increase in the number of floaters, a curtain coming down, or flashing lights with her eyes closed, you should take your mother to a doctor immediately as these can be symptoms of a retinal detachment, a serious eye condition. However, floaters do develop commonly following cataract surgery and it is important to get them checked.
Dear Dr Feldman,
Thank you for your response, it's much appreciated.
Regards
Debra
