Can retinal detachment happen again after surgery?
Yes. Retinal detachment can recur because of a new retinal break, remaining traction, or proliferative vitreoretinopathy, among other causes. Keep your scheduled retinal follow-up appointments, and seek immediate eye care if you notice new flashes, floaters, or a shadow in your vision.
