Cataract on a tomato frog?

Hey All,
I just got an adult tomato frog last week and was warned when I bought her that she had been housed with a lot of other frogs and was a little roughed up because of it. When she arrived she looked perfectly fine so I put her in the tank I had prepared for her. (moss and dirt, large water bowl, UVB bulb and heat mat) I put some crickets in there with her the day after I brought her home and she ate them up. Now four or five days later she has what looks to be a cataract over one of her eyes. She is kept in a room with a lot of snakes and therefore a lot of heat, but it never gets over 81 degrees in her tank. Do you think that may have something to do with it, or do you think it could be the humidity which I've had trouble keeping above 60%? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
