Brief Answer:
Recommend an examination by Ophthalmologist

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I think the new floaters may not be due to surgery all the time.

However, for every new floater needs a careful evaluation in the 70 yr old man.

It can be age-related degeneration also. If the diabetes is only after pancreas removal then it may not be related as well.

So I suggest an Ophthalmologist examination for sure. It may not be serious as well but better to see the result with a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query.
