Can you get ocular herpes from someone spitting in your eye?

Its unlikely I'm sure, but I was talking with my brother, who almost always has a cold sore or another on his lips, and while he was talking some spit from his mouth went right in my eye. I didn't seen an obvious sore on his mouth, but I tend to just assume he has one.

Guess I am just wondering if ocular herpes can be acquired this way, however unlikely.
