Can you tell me what to do if i don't have flashes but i'm scared anyway i will have retinal detachment?

Get an exam: The only way to find out is to have an exam by a qualified eye MD. AAO.org is very helpful. If you have a retinal detachment, the sooner you see a specialist the better. Time is vision.
