Brief Answer:
Nothing will happen - Don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi....please do not worry. Nothing will happen. Moreover I congratulate you for the presence of mind and the first aid that you have given by rinsing the eyes, thoroughly.

Metaspray is a steroid which works on mucosal surfaces. It may not or may not get absorbed from the eye membrane or conjunctiva. It is not irrirant to the eyes unless given purposefully in large doses. Moreover a single dose of vapours, that too after rinsing is harmless.

I assure you again to be rest assured.
