Will Traveling By Air Cause Retinal Bleeding To Increase?

Hi I had a retinal bleed a couple of months ago. I cannot see out of the eye and am waiting for the eye doctor to decide whether an vitrectomy is necessary. I have been invited to a function in Amsterdam next week but wonder if flying will further damage my eye. What is your view
