Brief Answer:
It will not cause any problem no need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for writing to us on Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history and based on your history the response to your question is as follows.
Getting urine near or in the eye will not cause any damage to the eye but it carries the risk of infection.
But no need to worry, you need to wash the eye thoroughly with normal water. You can further use antibiotic eye drops like Moxifloxacin eye drop to prevent this risk of infection.
If you do these two things then no need to be worried.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
