No, I don't, but.: It depends partly on what you had the surgery for. If you had a retinal detachment, then there are multiple causes of vision problems, even after surgery. Some are related to the detachment itself and others can be related to the surgery. For example, a cataract after retinal surgery is a common problem that causes visual deterioration and is related to the surgery.

Not necessarily. : Typically, retina procedures are done for conditions that adversely affect the vision. Treatment options are geared towards stopping vision loss or in best cases improvement or restoration of vision. Many times, in spite of adequate and timely treatment, some people still develop significant vision loss, depending on the condition. I would recommend you talk to your retina specialist in detail.

Possibly: Retinal surgery prevents BLINDNESS. However, depending on the type of surgery, increased near sightedness (myopia) is seen after scleral buckle. Sometimes, there is comparatively less peripheral vision depending on what is repaired
