What Causes Floaters In The Eye After A Fall?

I had a hard fall a month ago, fell on my face on tile floor, loosened a tooth, small break to nose.
Now I have a very invasive floater (diagnosed by optition) that has been there 8 days. I am 59 years old. female. could the fall have caused this breakaway of vitrious fluid?

these are degenarative bodies from retina floating in vetrious. it is not related to fall. no treatment for floaters only to be watched if it increases further then hole tear or peripheral retinal detachment to be excluded.
