No longer than: One day. If the irritation persists beyond this, see your eye doctor.

Usually overnight: As long it is truly only irritation, the eyes should be better b the next day. There are many problems that may seem like simple irritation, but require actual treatment, including infection of the cornea. When in doubt, see an eye care professional.
