Lifting an heavy object increases eye floaters and it leads to retinal detachment for high myopic is that true?

It is not such a cause and series of progression to retinal detachment. Things you mention can cause floaters and retinal detachment. It is sudden heavy lifting which makes it more possible.

If following sudden exertional activity you experience immediate increase in floaters associated with scotomata and sparks or scintillations, this would be an indication to seek ophthalmological consultation.
