A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't tell: Although this mode of transmission has been reported, it is quite rare. It is also impossible to tell how much blood it make take since it depends on whether your eyes are already inflamed and the viral count in the f blood. If you are concerned, just get tested even though the risk is very low.
