It most certainly can my friend! You must have it checked out at once.
Per Brian S. Skow, MD of American Academy of Ophthalmology your problem may be one of these...
Traumatic iritis: This type of injury can occur in the same way as a corneal abrasion. It is also associated with a blow to the eye from a more blunt object, such as a fist or a club. The iris is the colored part of the eye. It is actually a muscle that controls the amount of light that enters the eye through the pupil. Iritis simply means that the iris is inflamed.
Hyphemias and orbital blowout fractures: These injuries are associated with significant force from a blunt object to the eye and surrounding structures. Examples would be getting hit in the face with a baseball or getting kicked in the face.
