Did you happen to see my post on RBR? As I understand it, the risk is small. Don't do anything high impact, like running, for 6 weeks or so. Run (this is an exception to the first rule), don't walk, to the ER if you detect any other sign of retinal detachment. Otherwise, it's a pretty normal occurrence as we age. As I said (I think) in my RBR post, they were a little more worried about my own vitreous detachment because I'm so myopic. I'm already at an increased risk for a retinal tear.
Do you have a follow up appoint with your doc? Mine dilated my eyes for rechecks once a week/every two weeks.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
