I see a dark spot in the middle of my field of vision plus a bunch of new floaters?

Need an exam: This can be a sign of bleeding, tearing or detachment of the retina. You need a dilated eye examination, which should be performed asap!

Floaters: It sounds as if you have had a posterior vitreous detachment. This is a situation where the vitreous(jelly) of the eye detaches (not a retinal detachment), it then "crumples" up leaving dots, spots, strands of blurry vitreous; i.e. The "floater". You should have an exam to ensure the incident did not tear the retina, which could lead to a retinal detachment. Wait one year then consider surgery.
