Yesterday i sneezed with my eyes open,now im worried my retina might have detached slightly due to that? am i in danger?i have no eye problems.

Retina: A retinal detachment is associated with bright flashing lights initially. It will then progress to peripheral field deficits. You are young and very unlikely unless you have diabetes or some chronic vascular or connective tissue problem
