I am sorry to hear this stringyeye for a less than ideal outcome.

I am not exactly sure how post-op debris floaters look like but if what you see are opaque dark strands, I doubt it is blood floaters. Blood floaters, from what I have read on these forums, are free moving tiny specks of debris.

There is also a difference in floaters due to blood vs floaters due to inflammation. Blood floaters are due to minor/major hemorrhages and usually disappear from reports on these forums.

I have not come across any person on these forums with description of inflammation floaters (WBC/pus/exudate etc) so I do not know.

I am missing this info, was your PVD induced?

I really hope that these are clumped blood floaters and will disappear. And even if it is some other debris, I hope the movement of eyes fluide via trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal or diffusion via uveoscleral outflow will filter these out. Please keep us updated.
Fishmoon, you seem to have some good knowledge about this.

Isn't the vitreous cavity completely isolated from the outside? Only the aquous is supposed to have access to Schlemm's canal.  This leads me to another question: can your diet or medicines chemically damage the healthy structure of the vitreous humour? if yes, howcome then? The vitreous is not irrigated and a rather inert mass but can still substances infiltrate, causing the network to degrade and ultimately clump into suspended collagen fibres (the common floaters) ?

 I mean, if a person takes, let's say, a contraceptive, an antidepressant, etc, during many years, can these drugs enter the vitreous and harm it? how?  Maybe the million dollar question some people have been asking themselves. I'm too young for this and have very slight myopia (-1 in both).
