You are more likely having eye strain. After an hour or so of work on a small screen, close your eyes for few minutes or move out in open and see far objects.
Put tear eye drops, 2 drops every 8 hours in your eyes for 4 to 5 days.
Take tab beplex forte one daily for 3 to 4 weeks.

Based on the vaccination history you shared, you are already very well protected against rabies. You completed a full post-exposure vaccination schedule in November–December 2025, and you have again taken two booster doses on 6/3/2026 and 9/3/2026.
Rabies infection occurs only when saliva from an infected animal directly enters the body through a bite, scratch, or mucous membrane exposure from a known animal source. A situation where “something wet fell near your eye” without knowing the source and without any animal contact is not considered a rabies exposure.
Also, since you recently received booster doses, your immune system already has strong protective antibodies, so the risk of rabies in this situation is extremely negligible.
The burning sensation in the eyes is more likely due to irritation, dryness, allergy, or stress/anxiety, especially when you are studying for exams and focusing on screens for long hours.
Next Steps
• No further rabies vaccine is required for this incident.
• Wash the eyes gently with clean water or sterile saline if irritation persists.
• Avoid rubbing the eyes.
• If burning continues, you may use lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) for relief.
• Try to focus on exam preparation and reduce repeated checking or worrying about rabies, because medically you are already protected.
Seek medical attention only if you develop persistent redness, discharge, swelling, or vision problems, which are unrelated to rabies.
Health Tips
• Limit continuous screen time while studying; follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
• Maintain good hydration and proper sleep, which helps reduce eye strain and anxiety.
• Remember that rabies does not spread through random environmental droplets or unknown wet spots.
⸻
You have already taken the correct vaccinations and are medically protected, so try to stay calm and focus on your upcoming exams. If your anxiety about rabies continues to disturb your concentration, you can also book an online consultation and I can guide you further so you can study with peace of mind.

Regarding the eye ,it might be due to dryness, dust/allergy, screen strain, or mild infection.
Next Steps

• Use lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) 3–4 times daily
• Avoid excess screen time and rubbing the eyes
