A member asked:

What to do after a surgery of retina detachment? any lifestyle changes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Post op RD: After the retina has successfully reattached and allowed to heal there are no restrictions on activities. The treated retina is actually more stable than a retina that has not been operated.
