It's challenging to provide a definitive answer without comprehensive details about the incident and the dog's history. Rabies transmission can occur through contact between the virus or saliva and mucous membranes, such as the eye conjunctiva. If the dog is unknown and it's vaccination status is uncertain, it's advisable to undergo vaccination. However, if the dog is known, vaccinated against rabies, showing no abnormal symptoms, and can be closely monitored for the next 10 days, then opting out of post-bite vaccination may be considered.

Yeah as you are saying it’s very little & not too much , just please rinse your eyes immediately with water , under running water for at least 15 minutes , avoid rubbing your eyes . If it’s still itchy use some eye wash solution.
