I've had floaters for about a year now and they're really bothering me, especially when I'm trying to work on my laptop. Since I've had cataract surgery in both eyes, could that be making the floaters worse or causing these vision issues

While floaters are common after cataract surgery, they don't necessarily mean something is wrong. Cataract surgery improves vision, potentially making existing floaters more noticeable. If you're experiencing a sudden increase in floaters, especially with flashes of light or vision loss, see your eye doctor immediately as this could indicate a serious condition like a retinal tear or detachment.
