Yes: Lasik is certainly possible after a retinal detachment provided that it has been repaired of course and the lasik exam is normal. It is reasonable to expect the vision after lasik to be similar to the vision with contacts or glasses.

Yes: Yes. As long as your retina is stable and your vision is correctable with glasses, lasik can be considered.

Very possible: It can be done for sure, but you need clearance from your retinal surgeon and from your lasik surgeon to see if you are a candidate.
