What is the meaning of having a flat retina?

Not detached!: It is an easy quick way to state that the retina is not detached, and typically will be used after retinal surgery to indicate that things are stable.

Reattached: Retinologist often speak of a reattached retina as being "flat" since it is flat against the eye wall. It is a good thing.
