Severe pain: a burn injury to the eye is a very serious injury. If the oil hit the cornea, you would have severe pain. Get this evaluated immediately.

Urgent care exam: For your protection & safety, go to a local quick/urgent care facility to have your eye/eyelid checked. If the oil struck your eyeball, your pain would be rather significant & likely lead to at least a significant corneal abrasion. The eyelid may blister. Both require treatment.

The Eyes Have it.: If anything hot landed in your eye you should have it examined immediately. If you're not sure, get it looked at. Your eyelid is important too. So get yourself examined ASAP.
