A member asked:
Why do i still get floaters 6mths after rd vitrectomy? go long time without, then new one crosses sight &vanishes. no new retinal tears found so far
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Floaters: Floaters may continue for years after RD with Vitrectomy which is very frustrating. The most important this is that there is not a new hole, tear or RD. Keep in contact with your eyeMD if the floaters worsen, new flashing lights, or you see a black curtain coming over your vision.
