Can Bleach Cause Blindness In Eyes?

I was washing dishes, with bleach, water, and soap, with a scrubber. The scrubber flicked a small, tiny amount of the bleach, water, and soap in my eye. I rinsed my eye for about 7 minutes, then 10 more minutes later that day, and then 10 more minutes later on. This happened a day and a half ago. Will I go blind?
