Default Pea Gravel Ding on my Windshield..How to stop spreading?

Today I got my first ding on my 2011 GS350 from a pea gravel pock-mark in the middle of my windshield. Is there anything that I need to do to make sure this doesn't make a spiderweb run down and across the front glass?

Is it already spidered\cracked or is it just a pit? If it's spider, I would get it professionally repaired.

If it's pitted, you could buy one of those windshield repair kit and fix it yourself.

It is about the size of two pen points, and is pitted only slightly. I didn't know if the Lexus windshields were tougher than the average one. It isn't big but I sure don't want it to get bigger.

Have a windshield place squirt in their pressurized resin repair. Doesn't cost that much.

Thank you. That's a great idea. I'll look up a place today.
