Hot shower water in eyes help

Dear members hope you all well!
I’m an bit worried…i had a hot shower the other day but when I put my head completely under it i change the temperature from hot to mild.
Unfortunately this time I didn’t change it properly and the water was still hot ….went on my head and the really hot water dropped obviously on my  face. Immediately I moved away …so can you damage your eyes is such a scenario ? I kept my eyes closed but eyes are never completely sealed so water always find a way to enter and I’m worried I may have damaged my eyes. I put cold water in my face with eyes closed immediately then after the shower some eye drops.
So can you really damage the eye like some people or site claim on the net ?
Thank you in advance for any reply
