As you know: a floater is a tiny cluster of cells or fleck of protein lodged in the vitreous humor that then casts a shadow on the retina appearing as a speck/thread/cobweb.New onset floaters may herald retinal detachment. The fact that they have disappeared on the left suggests a retinal detachment is not imminent.However, the fact that you had a retinal detachment on the right increases your risk for another
