Would the look of smoke in front of your eye be a sign of retinal detachment?

I'm 26 (i'll be 27 in a few weeks) and i've had 4 retinal detachments.
i've never experienced the look of smoke off to the left of my vision before when i had a retinal detachment.

i went to my glaucoma/cataract specialist for a check up today and i told him that over the last couple months i've just gotten this smokey/foggy/filmy look to my vision.
i had thought it may have been build up on my artificial lens cuz that had happened before and i had the same sort of effect with my vision but he says its not building up.
he also said that from what he can tell my retina does look fine but since i have this smokey vision i should get it checked out by my retina specialist. (who i just saw in december for a check up)
i'm a bit annoyed with myself that i even said anything cuz i'm so tired of going to eye dr's and wasting 2 hours every time.
i'm not too worried cuz i really don't think anything is gonna be wrong but i'm going just to be safe.

so i'm wondering is the effect of smokey vision (like if you were in a restaurant that had a smoking section) but only more off to the left a sign of retinal detachment?
