Flight after Barrage laser

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I had a retina detachment ( rhegmatogeneous) in the right eye ( detachment in the lower part of eye) and weak spots in left eye. So my doctor performed barrage laser in both eyes in May 2021.I am in routine check up and till the last check up( february 2022) he has given restrictions on picking heavy weights and doing strenuous activities. But he has not given anymore restrictions. Now I have an emergency for which I have to take a flight for 3hrs.Although my doctor never specified to not take a flight but I didn't ask him either. Now he is out of station so I can't consult him. So can I fly?

Yes you can fly if no surgery has been done recently and if surgery has been done if they put gas in your eye then you cant fly.
