has your optician or doctor said what is causing the floaters? is it due to the eye surgery? because alot of the time floaters can be a sign of high blood pressure and stress. Also my brother suffered badly with floaters last year. he figured out in the end it was because he was straining his eyes at work on his computer. Apparently he sits by a window and the light used to shine on the computer screen and create a glare. so now he has an anti glare screen cover and it seems to be helping.
i hope this helps, take care

Hi.  Everyone has floaters, they weren't in any way caused by your eye surgery.  Floaters come and go, and we just have to ignore them because they are really benign.  You are probably always looking for them and this is keeping you aware of them, which then keeps you depressed.  You are fine and your eyes are fine, accept this so you can move on.  You're healthy, get on with your life and you'll soon forget about the floaters.
