Do I need to seek attention because my dogs tail smacked me in the eyes? I'm 5 days post-op.

Asked By:Mitchellsgirl14 in City Of Industry, CA

My dog jumped up on the couch and in doing so his fluffy tail smacked me in my open eyes. I immediately flushed with my artificial tears and don't feel any discomfort or notice anything different, should I go to the eye doctor as soon as possible to have it looked at? My instructions were to not get anything in my eyes for a week and here my dog goes and smacks me in the eyes with his tail.
