How about a warm shallow bath, this may help dislodge the small peice of bark. It may come out on its own and you may see your gecko clawing at it, but I wouldn't advise getting at it yourself you never know the damage it may cause.

The other way is to rinse the eye with tepid water like you would to humans when we get something in our eyes. You gecko might struggle though, either way keep an eye on it ( no pun intended) and if in doubt see the vet. But these things usually have a way of sorting themselves out.
