Hello
Some forms of retinal detachment are hereditary and others not
If you have lattice without holes then you need not to worry
Just get annual retina examination done
Doctor will do barrage laser for you if he finds anything suspicious anytime
Consult local retina specialist if you notice anything suspicious like floaters,flashes etc
