Unlikely.
You should be more worried about the damage you did to your skin -- that happened for sure. A tan is the skin's response to damage, it indicates that damaging UV light has penetrated the skin. UV light is a major cause of skin cancer and wrinkles.
For the second or two your eye was open , it's nothing to worry about.
You should be more worried about all the damage you did to your skin during all that time.
