How common are floaters after retinal detachment surgery?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Common: Depending on the kind of surgery you had, they are common or less common. Following scleral buckling surgery and pneumatic retinopexy ("bubble procedure"), they are common. Following a vitrectomy surgery, there should not be any floaters, in most cases.

Depends: Floaters after retinal detachment surgery may be expected depending on the surgical technique used, or they could represent a cause of concern. Get a follow-up exam from your retinal surgeon and ask about them. Good luck.
