I have had five eye surgeries for detachments and tears but they were back in the mid 1980s prior to the gas bubble. At that time they did a sclera buckling. I had great results and no long term issues other than that eye is much more myopic.

There were some scary times during recovery because the retina needed to flatten out... vertical lines looked more like a stack of z's. It took about 18 months to feel as if things were normal. They usually say things are as good as they will get in a year but that's never been the case for me. Every time they continued to get better well past one year.

Good luck with your recovery!
