Before you get uv damage to your lens to cause cataracts you will get a server kertitis  also know as "snow blindess."  

High exposure to light will cause acute retinal damage before cataracts or corneal kertatitis.

i take it you were looking at the light while wearing some sort of protection (ie googles) if not you will have subjected your eyes to large quantities on uv light - more than in is normal sunlight - high levels of uv or high unexpected sun exposure can be linked to cataracts! please tell me you were protected as your post does not make that clear!!
