Examination: You should first have an examination. Possibilities would be vitreous debris ("floaters" opacities of the jelly in the eye), vitreous bleed (blood in the jelly of the eye due to diabetes), retinal edema (swelling of the retina due to diabetes). See and ophthalmologist.

See an eye doc, soon: It is widely recognized that diabetic patients can have worsening of retinopathy after cataract surgery. Retinal specialists also feel that diabetics may be more susceptible to developing macular edema. As well. Both can be checked with a retinal exam. Fortunately, there are many good treatments for diabetic retinopathy.
