Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
A minor contact usually does not cause much trouble.Wash thoroughly with clean water.Watch for few hours.If no redness/itching/excessive watering,you need not worry.Else,you please go and see your ophthalmologist.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
