The concentrations of ingredients in the shampoo are not enough to cause corneal burns, but they are very irritant and, your eyes are inflamed, and tender. You may need to get some eye drops with a steroid in it if they keep being painful and red another day. Your PCP can help you

A chemical conjunctivitis can occur with many irritants, and these can cause corneal/conjunctival irritation. Use artificial tears to soothe the eyes. Most chemicals do not penetrate the inside of the eye so permanent damage is not likely, but see an ophthalmologist to exclude other causes of red eyes.
