Depends upon many factors: what surgery is planned, e.g., retinal re-attachment, which could be lengthy (about 1 1/2 to 3 hours), or treatments for diabetes or retinal vascular diseases, which could be 45 minutes each. There are many other retinal problems, each with its own complexity and length of surgery. Discuss this with the surgeon with whom you have scheduled surgery and whether you will be asleep or not.
Half an hour to several hours
