Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

The answer depends upon how severe your retinal detachment was and how much the eye surgeon needs to do in order to repair it. Each person's eyes will be different. You should speak with your surgeon to get an individualized answer. Good luck.
