Requires eye exam: You presumably had a serious injury resulting in your fractured eye socket. In all cases of peri ocular/ocular trauma, an urgent eye examination is necessary. Your flashes ; floaters could mean that the inner part of your eye has had some damage, eg., retinal tear/detachment , vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, inflammatory problems, etc. Please seek help by eye md.

Flashes: I would recommend a dilated eye examination by a retina specialist immediately to make sure you do not have retinal tear or retinal detachment.
