Can you have cataract surgery after laser surgery for retinal detachment?

Cataract surgery can usually be done after laser surgery for retinal detachment with an interval of more than 4 to 6 months.
Retinal detachment is the separation of the neuroepithelial layer from the pigment epithelial layer of the retina. The detached part of the retina is unable to perceive light stimulation, resulting in incomplete or total loss of vision.
Normal vision can usually be restored after surgery. Cataracts, on the other hand, are clouding of the lens to varying degrees, resulting in loss of vision and blurred vision, which can be restored after surgery.
After retinal detachment surgery, you should pay special attention to eye use, reduce close eye use, avoid eye fatigue or dryness, rest more and stay up less late, avoid strenuous activities to prevent reoccurrence of detachment, please consult with a professional doctor for specific advice.
