No, but if unexposed to light for months or years straight, the melanin in your eye will decrease, and your eyes will become a lighter color. I don't think it will be permanent though, unless you were without light for many many years. You will also become more accustomed to the dark and you will be able to see better in the dark than others.

A detached retina is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.

The sooner the retina is reattached, the better the chances of preserving vision. Delaying treatment can lead to irreversible damage and loss of sight in the affected eye.

What is retinal detachment?
Retinal detachment is when the retina, the part of the back of the eye which contains numerous blood vesses, because detached from the wall of the eyeball. It can be serious and can lead to blindness if left untreated. It is most commonly caused by high blood pressure. The high blood pressure causes pockets to form between the retina and the other lays of tissues in the eye. Over time, the suction between the wall of the eye and retina is gone and the retina slowly detaches from the eye. It is not usually noticed until the retina is actually detaching from the eye. During this time you may see blurriness, floaters or blindness. Fortunatly, the retina can be surgically reattached to the eye and vision can be restored if treated as soon as possible.
