Cataract Surgery: What to expect after surgery

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.

The floaters I have are black and all over the eye. I have a floater in my rt eye that isn`t black but it is larger and I`ve adapted to it being there. I will call the operating Dr today to see if they are going to set up an appointment. I have scheduled an appointment at the U of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center for September 24th and will keep it if my eye continues to be blurry. They have helped me before and I trust them. My sister lives not far so I have some support with her and a place to stay. Again, thanks for the reply because I want to hear what others have gone through and sure hope I can find answers and have my vision back to "normal".
