Chemical injuries to the eye can be serious. Prevention is key with safety glasses. Immediately flushing the eye with water may have saved you From damage. Emergency rooms are equipped to flush out the eye and would prefer you to an ophthalmologist. It would be prudent to be evaluated by an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Signs that there are a problems would be pain, redness, tearing or blurred vision.
