Had retinal holes. had laser surgery 8 months back. can daily masturbation cause future retinal holes?

No: Once laser retinopexy has scarred in, which takes about a week, it is essentially permanent. You would have to develop new tears or holes, at that point. If you experience new symptoms, see your ophthalmologist to be sure.
