14th day of cold sore, it seems healed, skin's barely visibly pink. i washed my hands then touched my eye area, any chance it could spread to my eye?

Herpes simplex: Unlikely. On the other hand if you should develop any discernible changes such as pain, redness, alteration in visual acuity, etc., you should see an ophthalmologist asap. Vision is too precious to fool with. Always better safe than sorry. Good luck - i think you are going to be fine.
