It IS scary but all need to keep researching and consulting with the best surgeons possible. Of course, that isn’t so easy as our locations and/or medical plans can be limiting.

It sounds that your surgeons do these as separate procedures. Maybe, their rationale is to do the most necessary (cataract) surgery first and see how you fare? Then, have retinal surgeon remove floaters with FOV?

My local surgeons (cataract and retinal) are in one office and I understand that they can do FOV and cataract surgery during the same procedure. I am strongly considering this for my right eye since the cataract has gotten so bad AND my floaters are so significant. As said in previous entries, I had 2019 cataract surgery and 2020 FOV. I am in the Pittsburgh, PA area.
Good luck!
