" If you have surgery to repair your hole (not laser but surgery in the O.R.) the doctor will usually perform a vitrectomy where they remove the existing fluid from the eye and put new liquid in thus clearing up the "floaters". If you find your zillion increases to quadzillion (or any increase in floaters) you need to report that to your doctor ASAP...or if you see flashes of lights. Best of luck to ya "
