So I was fragging my gsp coral and a little water from the gsp squirt in to my eye.
Am I gonna be ok??
My eyes are still normal right now.
 
You should be fine, I have not heard of any pathogens or toxins that are transmitted by droplet for Green Star Polyps.

As always rinse your eyes as appropriate and contact the local ER should any redness, pain or swelling occur.

If you have to seek medical attention do not take no for an answer and ask to speak with the infectious disease MD on staff at the time.

Always a good idea to wash your hands after messing with your tank in any way to avoid getting bacteria in your eyes or in your mouth.
The concentration of bacteria looming in our enclosed systems is extremely high compared to the vast ocean.
No telling what may be in there bacterial wise or how an individual will react to contact with corals or said bacteria, not to mention in the eyes or mouth.
Just something to consider, chances are probably small but not a risk I would want to gamble with being most of all this is unknown to modern medicine.
