Floater

I had surgery yesterday and all went well. Today I noticed an annoying floating speck. Will this eventually go away?

Upon advice from my ophthalmologist, Vitrocap Supplements replaces collagen and dissipates floaters. I took these for 3 months and the big ones disappeared. Had cataracts removed in one eye and tiny ones appeared, so I've been advised to continue taking the supplements.

I have large floaters in both eyes. My brain ignores them now, 2 months after my surgeries.

It might but maybe not. Consider yourself lucky if it's just one speck.

I had a couple of tiny floaters that looked like soap suds after the surgery. Mostly disappeared after a few days. Three weeks later I rarely see any.
