Does An External Head Injury Affect Vision?

i was hit in the head hard enough to see bright bursts of light, i obviously had my eyes closed. since i seem to be having trouble focusing close up, i am near sighted but haven't noticed to be having as bad a problem close up until now. Could this be related and are there any other things I should be concerned about? Im 36yrs 5'2" 115lbs
