Not necessarily : You must ask your eye doctor who did the surgery immediately.

Yes.: The vitreous gel sometimes becomes loosened even after uncomplicated cataract surgery. A couple of floaters after surgery are not unusual. Post operative exam of the eye after surgery includes a look at the retina to make sure that there are not any other abnormalities such as tears.
