It's only a possibility. Source: I'm an optician that works with an ophthalmologist.
If it a detachment and detected early it's treatable. If not detected or treated it can cause permanent blindness in that eye.
Don't take that chance. Get it checked just in case. If your eyes get the all clear then it's time to talk to a psych lol.

Yeah my dad and grandma both had detached retinas
My dad woke up one morning and half his vision in one eye was blackness. He called his eye doctor who was like “YOU NEED TO GET IN FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY NOW”
Supposedly the procedure then, this was decades ago, was to pop his eye out of his head, tie some sort of surgical band around it, maybe do some other stuff I dunno. Then he wasn’t allowed to even look up for a few days
He had to sit hunched over a tv which was laying facing up, so he was facing down on it, and try to distract himself with that when he wasn’t sleeping. He said it was the most horrible thing he had to go to through up to that point, and that included a broken collarbone
What’s terrifying is I have a genetic predisposition as well. It’s part of the reason I stopped doing Tae Kwon Do martial arts, I was really into sparring but was worried about what getting hit hard in the head my do to my eyes. I also lift heavy weights now though, worried that might create some eye strain as well…
