C-section only option after laser eye surgery?

Hi to all. Just overheard somewhere that you have to have a c-section after you've undergone laser eye surgery?
It feels very odd and untrue. Has anyone heard anything similar? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well I had laser surgery then two children vaginally and my eyes didn't pop out. Xmas Grin

Not at all. I had eye surgery and wasn't planning a c-section although that's what happened in the end.

Not quite the same, but MIL had a natural birth with BIL with two detached retinas. I'm sure it'll be fine!

Thanks a lot for all your answers. I thought it sounded strange.
Merry Christmas! Xmas Grin

My SIL went temporarily blind after having my nephew, she is still having steroid injections in the eye 7 years later to repair the damage so i don't know if what you heard is true but i do know that some horrible things can happen to your eyes as a result of childbirth!

Had laser eye surgery when I was 21 & two kids vaginally in my 30's without any problems for my eyes. Both had big heads & needed some help getting out but nothing happened to my eyes / sight.

Never heard this one before
