It is the age related degeneration of vitreous...happens to most people... increases after cataract surgery. Due to faster degeneration of vitreous and ability to see the floaters more because of good vision after the surgery.. get retina checked to rule out any other problems.
No specific cure for that, ask her to ignore them.
Report in case of appearance of flashes or sudden increase in floaters.
