You are suppose toge regular checkup by retina surgeon. All of sudden increase in floaters indicate that you have to rule out retinal tear or hole. Doctor should dolt by indirect ophthalmoscopy so-that he can reach up to peripheral retina. If there is no finding then nothing to worry. but you have to undergo checkup every 6month.

Hi
Floaters may occur in both the eyes because of the same common cause.
Chemotherapy may have exaggeration effect on the same..
Topical nepafenac eye drops may help.
Follow up by a retinal surgeon is desired in such a case.
