I was taking a shower with bleach in the toilet and the fumes made my eyes burn. they are not very red is this a problem?

Yes: As long as you didn't get bleach in your eyes, you should be fine. The fumes can irritate the eyes and you may want to use artificial tears several times to help soothe your eyes if there is mild burning.
