Eyes call for emergency appointments. Cataracts can develop fast but shouldn't affect appetite, though I could be wrong. There might be chemical damage, infection, or if the eye is swelling or hard there might be a cataract in the wrong position so it is causing glaucoma, too. That second one does cause enough pain to affect appetite.
