Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, it is possible. It can be caused by injuries that “bruise” the eye (called blunt trauma) and injuries that penetrate the eye.
Conditions such as severe nearsightedness, previous injury, infection or prior surgery may also make the eye more vulnerable to a serious eye injury.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
