Is there anything i could do to help prevent retinal detachment?

Not really: See your retina specialist and follow their advice. Occasionally prophylactic laser of any retinal holes or areas of thin retina (lattice degeneration) can be done. The most important thing is to get prompt treatment if you have new symptoms: new/worse floaters, flashing lights, and/or peripheral visual loss.

Avoid Life: I say "avoid life" because there are so many causes of retinal detachment (rd). Causes include high myopia, trauma, genetic conditions, diabetes, posterior vitreous detachment, etc., so it depends on your situation. If you any visual problems, have a family history of rd, have any other disease assoc with rd or new symptoms of flashes, floaters, or veils or curtains in your vision, get checked!
