Hello
It seems from the history that few dust particles went into your eyes. Since even after washing the eyes you are having irritation of the eyes.
This requires examination by a ophthalmologist to rule out presence of foreign particle or dust particle.
This needs to be removed as it can cause infection.
Hence I advice you to use antibiotic eye drop as of now and do consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
