Brief Answer:
It is not dangerous, no need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you have rubbed the eyelids after touching a deodorant.
This will not cause any problem. No need to worry.
Direct exposure to deodorant can cause irritation of the eye. In your case since it is indirect contact and that to only for the eyelid, no problem will occur.
As a precautionary measure you can wash the eye with water since you have done that no need to worry and nothing else is really required.
If you have irritation of the eyes then you can use artificial tears eye drops for symptomatic relief.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
