Is retinal detachment surgery dangerous?

Retinal detachment surgery techniques are now more mature and safer, but complications are still possible. Retinal detachment surgery can be performed in a variety of ways, such as vitrectomy and extrascleral cushion pressure surgery, etc. Usually the surgical techniques are very mature, with better safety and lower risk. However, there are risks associated with any surgery, and complications can occur after retinal detachment surgery, such as secondary high intraocular pressure, endophthalmitis, and concurrent cataracts. Retinal detachment is a common ophthalmologic disease, usually caused by high myopia, eye trauma, or abnormal retinal development itself. When the retina detaches from the wall of the eye, it can cause significant vision loss, visual field defects, and other symptoms. Surgery can be used to reset the retina and improve vision. It is recommended that patients with retinal detachment seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
