Weeks to months: Depends on the type of surgery, how complicated the detachment was, gas bubble or oil in the eye, etc. This can affect vision, flying, face down positioning, etc.

Depends!: The exact recovery time depends, and different physicians have different restrictions to facilitate the recovery. Many patients can go back to work in 1-4 weeks. Near full recovery following repair of primary detachment is usually achieved by 3 months. Complex re-operations may take longer.
