Having myopia doesn't ascertain that one may definitely develop retinal detachment. It usually occurs when there are certain risk factors present and are not corrected.
Next Steps
It's mandatory to rectify any risk factor present in the eye to lessen the chances of detachment.
Health Tips
Kindly get a dilated retinal examination done by an Ophthalmologist.
