Cause Of Watery, Itchy, Swollen Eyes But No Pain Or Blurred Vision?

Hello!
I rubbed inner corner of my eye. In few minutes lids got swollen and now sclera in the inner corner is swollen. It is slightly itchy, a little bit watery but not painful. Also it is not red but kind of pinkish. My vision is not blurred in affected eye.
Can you tell me what it can be? Did I cause any serious damage?
