Hello this is Dr. Subhadeep.
Thanks for posting your query.
From your description, it is a floater. It is a perfectly harmless condition, for which no treatment is required. Since the cataract has been removed, you can see it more clearly. It won't block your vision and you will gradually get used to it. So no treatment is required. If in case, there is a sudden increase in the number of spots, or you see flashes of light, then you need a consultation.
Regards
