Nothing: If you flushed it immediately that's all needs to be done.Just watch and if there is no redness, itchings , swelling or pain in your eye, than you should be alright but if any of the symptoms i mentioned.Consult your doctor or an opthalmologist.

See an eye doctor: That amt of peroxide could have damaged the tissue in the eye. Please get to see an ophthalmologist asap. You did the right thing immediately but you need followup.

I got a drop of Listerine in my eye. I immediately rinsed it, even though I had no burning or irritation, but after rinsing it, the eye got red. Is that from tap water or from the mouthwash?
