What are the risks in labor and delivery for a pregnant mother who had retinal detachment surgery during pregnancy?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Very little: If the retinal detachment is completely healed by the time of delivery, there is generally very little risk to the eye of the mother.

Retinal: If your eye has healed fully after the surgery, there should be minimal risk of a recurrent detachment during labor and delivery. Good luck!

Depends: If the retina detachment was successfully repaired, there should be little risk that the retina will re-detach during the stress of labor.
