Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Yes, your query is logical.
And let me tell you that there is an entity called traumatic cataracts and vossious rings which can develop following a blunt trauma to the eye.
You had been in an accident recently and so acute development of cataract is possible. I would suggest you to visit your eye surgeon and he/she can examine you and tell you further about your management.
Hope this was helpful.
Regards
