I can't give you a direct answer but call poison control and ask them - or there should be a customer service phone number on the bottle of fluid that you can call. they will most likely tell you to go get it cheked out though as they do not want a law suit. I sprayed myself in the eye with deet bug repellent and had similar symptoms, but I am totally fine now - just flushed my eye with water for 20 minutes.. i would suggest doing the same, just stick your head under a gently runnning faucet and blink your eye

brake cleaner is made to clean new brake parts and to clean off brake parts with a lot of brake dust and grime on them. many people use brake clean to clean off anything on the engine and transmission though. it cuts through grease and oil so you can wipe it down. it evaporates as well. technicians use it all the time to clean off things like that. i think most people use it for that more than using it to actually clean off brake parts.

you should have gone right after this happened - just cause you think you are ok now - problems can still be there - considering the time call your eye dr in the morning for advice/appt - whatever. also you did the very right thing by washing out you eye alot - hopefully you got it all out but i would still ask to be sure.. good luck - any irritation stirs up before see a dr in the am - go to the nearest hosp.

Read the bottle. the bottle should contain important information about what to do. I suggest seeing a doctor. They will use a PH strip, place it in your eye to measure the levels to see if you successfully removed it all. Your eyes are very sensitive and though it feels sine it may not be. Don;t take the chance,
Read the bottle, check to see if you followed the instructions then get down to the ER with the bottle so they know exactly what is in your eye.

Wow, that doesn't sound good.
A doctor will only look at it maybe test it, then tell you you're fine.
It'll be a waste of your time and money.
If it doesn't hurt anymore and you can see, don't worry.
As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
