Eye trauma from cat?

This is possibly a dumb question but for some reason I have been thinking about this.

I am watching a friends cat and she will rub her head against mine pretty frequently. One morning she rubbed against the side of my head and possibly my eye somewhat hard? (Cant remember really).

Either way, can a cat produce enough force to cause any kind of eye trauma or am I just being anxious over nothing?
I am not really experiencing any symptoms, I just tend to be anxious over my eyes.

You are being anxious over nothing.   Almost all cat injuries are from claws scratching eye or eyelid.
