Depends on cause : The problem with answering this question, is knowing what the cause of the week retina is. Many causes may never affect your vision at all. Some of them, can effect your vision tremendously. Some causes may never affect your vision in anyway. If you know the name of the diagnosis, this question will be much easier to answer.
