Answer 1

You should have flushed them with water for 15 minutes when it happened. If they are still hurting you need to seek help NOW. You only have two eyes...

Answer 2

See a doctor immediately.  You will probably be okay, but this is something where you do NOT want to take chances.

Answer 3

Go to the hospital, your eyes need to be washed out,go right away.

Answer 4

Toughen up.  You're going to get a lot worse things in your eye in a career as a mechanic.  If you didn't go blind or was in immediate pain when it happened, then you're okay.
