What causes retina detachment and when you get surgery to fix it, how long does the recovery take?

Question by Haruko: What causes retina detachment and when you get surgery to fix it, how long does the recovery take?
I just visted my optometrist a few days ago. I found out that my retina is very weak and may lead to retina detachment. I’m 14 years old and it’s rare for retinal detachment or have it weak at my age.

What causes retina detachment? Squinting too much? Rubbing my eyes too much? Contact lens?

When you get surgery to fix it, how long does the recovery take?

Any help is appreciated!

Answer by DR
From Mayo Clinic:
Retinal detachment may be caused by trauma, advanced diabetes or an inflammatory disorder. But it often occurs spontaneously, as a result of changes in the jelly-like vitreous that fills the vitreous cavity of your eye.

Recovery can take from months to never, every human is individual.

Good luck.
