If your eye ball surface had a chemical burn from this event, you would feel pain and be very sensitive to light. If your initial rinsing removed the residual bleach and stopped progression of the injury quickly, full recovery is expected. If the eye still hurts, go see your doc.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. If there is not pain, sensitivity to light and your vision is okay, you will be fine. You may wish to get a pair of goggles to protect eyes from splashes when dealing with chemicals. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
