Hi if my friend was hit in the eye and noticed an onset of floaters. why would this happen? does this mean the person was likely to develop these floaters anyway?

Need eye exam : Sometimes you can have retinal detachment if you get hit in the eye ,Floaters are sign of that ,So please see a eye doc ASAP ,but donot loose sleep over it ,Sometimes it can be just effect of accident only .Regardless you need to be seen by eye doc
