Can Getting Rear-ended In Auto Accident Cause A Vitreous Detachment?

Can getting rear-ended in an auto accident cause a vitreous detachment? I could see fine before the accident.....blurred afterwards. One week later....began seeing 'lightening flashes' in my eye, and was diagnosed with V. Detachment. Is it ok to lift heavy luggage as I'm alone on vacation???
