Blurry Vision, Seeing Floating Green Things After Ball Hit Eye. Serious?

Got hit on right eye when play indoor soccer. Literally felt soccer ball touched my eye ball. Very blurry vision at bottom half of the view. After putting on ice for 10 min, start to see floating green things in right eye, moving when eyeball moves. Blurry vision got improved, though. Now 3hrs afterwards. What are the green things? Is this serious? Shall I go see eye doc now, or wait until tomorrow. Thank you!

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Dear user
as from your history you had injury by a soccer ball. Now the symptoms are blurring of vision and seeing floaters. Floaters indicate opacities in the vitreous which may follow inflammation of the vitreous or accumulation of blood in the vitreous. since blunt injury is associated with few serious injuries of the retina eye examination by ophthalmologist is strictly advised in your case.
Thank you
