yesterday i fell down the stairs and hit the back of my head and blacked out for a minute, i also experienced dizziness and light headedness for an hour after. I'm ok now and feel great, ive always had eye floaters and dont have any new ones. im just wondering if i could have torn my retina from my fall and if so would this be apparent by now?

    If you have torn your retina you would be experiencing blurred sight at the least. All over your eye or in patches. You may have concussion as you blacked out. Take care of yourself and see your doctor if you start to get headaches.
