Cataract Surgery: What to expect after surgery

I appreciate your comment concerning what happened to you. I guess these floaters could be red blood cells, but the drs never suggested that so that idea didn`t occur to me. I had read that these floaters could be debris from the cataract when it was removed. The cornea specialist I saw on August 31st seemed to suggest that to me also. I know there was some problem when they did the surgery because it took them over 30 minutes and normally it only takes 15,,,,one of the staff mentioned that to me when I called the office the next week about the continued blurriness. thank you for comments I will bring this up with the Dr.

I asked so many questions of the surgeon in my subsequent visits that they were pushing me out the door. From my experience, the ones that went away were the small, spec floaters. Even though I think they are red blood cells, they never looked red. I’d describe them as black/dark.
Oh, I still have a number of the “traditional floaters”, those made of collagen, protein, vitreous pieces or whatever. They can be maddening, but the body’s ability to neuroadapt can make them more tolerable.
