Yes: Generally, unless it's an emergency, like a retinal detachment or lacerated cornea, most eye sugery is best postponed to the postpartum period.

Usually: Most eye surgery is done under local anesthesia and there no risk to the developing child from this. If you have concerns discuss with your OB and your ophthalmologist. And - could it be put off until after delivery?
