Burned my eye yest using contact lens solution that is only for a vertical case. flushed out. eye still red & bd irritated. how long til it is better?

Short term: The manufacturers of these products know that frequently users will use the solution in a way that it directly enters the eye (even though the directions oppose this). So they make these solutions weak enough that they will not damage the eyes and in a day or so, your eye should feel normal.
