Good idea: While hits from soccer balls, rarely cause problems to the eyes due to the size of the ball and the absorption of energy by the bones around the eyes, you have described that the hit disturbed the inside of the eye enough to cause iritis. While unlikely, this could lead to a detachment of the retina. Especially if the vision is changed, you are seeing light flashes or many spots, see ophthalmol
