Very annoying. I have had one for almost a week now that looks like a curly thread hanging down swinging in the breeze. Went to my ophthalmologist yesterday, not much he can do about them without causing more problems. Oh joy. He did cataract/lens implant surgery two years ago and of course mine was the one that went not so smooth. Got overmedicated. Apparently I kept asking for more sedative, don't recall it. Went to Culver's afterward and my wife said I ordered a blueberry milkshake which she thought was odd. Don't remember that. He missed a small piece of the original lens so I had to go under again to remove it. Vision was still somewhat cloudy, so I needed a laser treatment to fix that and ended up with a big floater, which he warned me may happen, but it finally went away. And every time I sat in the waiting room all sorts of folks marveled at how they immediately could see a flyspeck at 100 yards after their surgery. My luck.
I have been with him since he started his practice in a small office. Now he partnered with another doctor and has a very nice size practice, beautiful office with all of the fancy machines. You don't get there unless you are a very good doctor.
Now I have to go to a retina specialist to get the go-ahead to return to him for another laser treatment to clear up some residual cloudiness.
He is asking me how soon I will get my other eye done as it is getting cloudy although it doesn't bother me much, I tell him I am in no hurry.
