It depends on the type and location of the RD. Discuss it with ophthalmologists that can look into your eyes.

Usually, the retina is repaired after the buckle, but the damage to the retina may have caused irreversible visual loss. If the cataract is interfering with functioning and has reduced your vision further, then removal may be indicated.
