Can eye laser surgery cause a retinal detachement

can the retina become detached due to the surgery

Retinal detachment as a complication of laser eye surgery is pretty much unheard of. Your retina will be assessed during the laser eye surgery consultation for any signs of weakness. A surgeon would only proceed with your surgery if they were completely satisfied that it was safe to do so. Thousands of people who have laser eye surgery are extremely short sighted.
