Since you have washed your eyes thoroughly no problem will occur. This can cause corneal epithelial defect and cause symptoms of pain, redness of eye, sensitivity to light....
You can use antibiotic eye drops and artificial tears for prevention of infection and other complications.
If there are symptoms of pain, redness, sensitivity to light you need to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
