No, cataract surgery doesn’t get rid of floaters. Some patients report seeing more floaters after cataract surgery, due to clearer vision. Speak with your eye doctor if floaters are interfering with your vision, or if you experience sudden increase or onset of floaters.

What will happen if cataracts are left untreated?

Over time, cataracts can eventually lead to vision loss, vision impairment and total blindness if left untreated. In fact, cataracts are the number one cause of blindness around the world.
