10 Causes of Retinal Detachment
Cause #8: Previous Eye Surgery
Surgery comes with its own risks. In the case of a person who has undergone an eye operation for certain conditions, such as the removal of a cataract, there is an increased risk of suffering from complications like retinal detachment. These conclusions have been made by treating patients who have had surgery and later suffer from retinal detachment.
The increased risk for retinal detachment has been linked to both pre-surgery factors like myopia, complications during surgery such as vitreous loss, or post-operative factors. The studies found that patients younger than 70 years old when they undergo eye surgery have a higher chance of suffering from retinal detachment.
