will i get a second detachment?

i suffered a retinal occlusion 3 years ago. I had taken eylea injections but swelling continued. Then switched to another medicine. My sight in effected eye was 20/200. Then we tried triamiclone steroid injections. The sight slowly went from 200 to 175 to 150 to 100 now fluctuates between 60 and 80 but with no central vision.  I jI st suffered a retinal detachment that was the top portion of the eye. It was repaired with vitrectomy and laser re attached. I now tilt my head down w gas bubble.  What are the chances of suffering a second detachment after this surgery?

First of all you do have central vision that is what you just reported 20/200 to 20/100     Your RD could be from your injections.  Lastly RDs are all so different it is not possible go generalize as it is with cataract surgery.
