You should not stop the dilation drops unless the retina surgeon gives you and "okay" to do so.

I was also wondering if when I stop using the eye drops for dilation will it make a difference to the blurriness? I understand that I will never have great vision ion my eye again but will cope better if its not so blurry.will wearing glasses help?
I certainly understand how you feel and have seen this situation many times before.
We all take our health and our vision too much for granted and forget what a gift good health and good vision is.
Hopefully over the coming months some of your vision will recovery. Hope. Pray. Time will tell.

Thankyou for your help.This has been a very distressing experience for me
The final result of a macula-off retinal detachment that is successfully reattached may take 6-12 months before you determine how much of the vision "comes back". Remember that reattaching the retina does not mean (unfortunately) that the eye is back to normal.
You should avoid acitivities that bang your head about and create torqueing forces (roller-coasters and that type of violent thrill rides, avoid contact sports like boxing, football, rugby. If you do other sports wear safety goggles especially for racquet sports like tennis or racquetball. Don't do yoga exercises where you stand on the head. Running and swimming exercises are fine.
Have your eyes examined yearly by a retinal specialist with a dilated exam.
