HOW TO RECOVER FROM PTOSIS OF EYE LIDS FROM CHEMICAL IRRITATION/FINE GLASS PARTICLES?

respected doctor,
kindly read through my doubts.

1)TWO DAYS BACK, I BROKE A GLASS WHICH HAD BROCKEN VERY  FINE GLASS PARTICLES, BUT I WAS NOT TOO NEAR THAT. I WAS WEARING SPECKS IN MY EYES, I WASEHD MY HANDS AFTER THAT. I DIDN'T FEEL ANY IRRITATION/REDNESS/PAIN AT ALL IN MY EYES. IT WAS ALL OK. BUT I SUSPECT IF ANY FINE GLASS PARTICLE COULD HAVE ENTERED MY EYE DUE TO SLIGHT SENSATION AT TIMES.I USED SOME MINOR ALLERGAN DROPS AND LUBRICANT DROPS AFTER THAT. BUT AS I ASSUME IT'S ALL OK,BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL ANY PAIN IN MY EYES. SHOULD  I HAVE TO CONSULT A EYE DOCTOR FOR THIS?

note:sorry for using capital letters.
2) please look into this problem also. yesterday, i poured water into my eyes without properly cleansing my hands, i think so, because, i washed my hands with only ordinary soap. but before that, i sprayed some scent in my hands accidentally.but i washed with soap after that. after sometime, when i splashed water in my eyes after that, i could feel some very slight burning sensation, and i could see my eyelids becoming sacked, thicken. there was no prominent redness. but my eyelids have dropped a little which i could notice.i used a ALBALON eye drops for minor allergies, and lubricant eye drops after that as prescibed by a eye doctor before.
WHEN WILL THE DROOPING OF EYELID  DISAPPEAR, SHOULD IT BE DUE TO CHEMICAL IRRITATION?

PLEASE SAY WHAT CAN BE DONE.i need ur gracious replies.
