Hi and welcome to HCM,
You did the right thing by flushing your eyes with water. You can by some eye wash, like refresh eye drops and continue flushing your eyes with them for a day. If the irritation persists, or there is deterioration of vision, then better to show to an eye doctor.
All the best !!!
