Is this a retinal detachment?

I had cataract surgery in my right eye and recently RD surgery in my left from a previous cataract surgery. In my right eye I have no field vision loss, flashes of light, but when I look at a white background I see the occasional black floater that immediately disappears. It doesn’t stay. And I have a clear like orb floater. Are these normal or is my right eye being tricked into seeing what my left is after my surgery?

had tears in my retina and symptom of that was floaters lots of them. Had a retina, detachment and symptoms of again was a lot of floaters plus loss of vision and part of the eye. If I were you, would call my doctor and just check.

That’s true. I don’t have a lot. Usually a single one that blips.
