Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
Floaters are due to some opacities in the gel like substance present in the eye..
They move with the movements of the eye..
They are entirely harmless.
In your case as your fellow eye got effected from uveitis, the same thing should be ruled out in this eye..
As you have already consulted the doctor and got reassured, don't worry..
Learn to ignore the floaters..
Hope I helped you with this information..
Take care..
Will be available for further queries..
Regards..
