If you are going to use shavings, make sure you use dust extracted ones 
If you are already doing so this may be a "one off."
There is other bedding available, I use Megazorb now, but used shavings for years without incident.
Just watch him and take to the vet if there is redness or irritation, chance are he will be fine as long as he hasn't grazed his eyeball.
