How Long Does Gas Bubble In Eye Persists Post Retinal Detachment Surgery?

I had retinal detachment surgery seven weeks ago (gas bubble is still there) and have been told I will need to have cataract surgery on the same eye. My question is How long between the time the bubble goes away until cataract surgery should be scheduled? Thank you.
