I had the same operation as you under Local after detaching my Retina over 10 years ago. My eyesight recovered over 3 months and I was back flying commercially soon after. I was lucky enough to have been operated on by one of the best surgeons in the UK.
No problems since ref the Retina, the buckle is firmly in place! Had my last check up in 2014 .. Good luck for the future.
I did post on here back then so you my be able to search and see the very helpful support I received during that period. Pudd.
