Scleral Buckle (2)
There is a better than 80% chance of success with retinal reattachment surgery. The return of good vision, however, depends upon if the macula was detached and for how long. In the best case, it may take many weeks for improvement to be noticed following surgery.
Possible, but infrequent, complications from scleral buckle surgery include failure of the operation, loss of some or all vision, loss of an eye (rare), double vision, retinal hemorrhage, cataract formation, glaucoma, further retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, vitreous hemorrhage, drooping of the upper lid, and infection.
