Rinse Sam's eye with cool water as well. Monitor it for redness, swelling, discharge, or pain. He would show pain by keeping his eye closed as much as possible and/or rubbing at his eye. If you see any of those signs, have him seen by a vet. Best of luck.

As you rinsed his eye thoroughly there should be no residue from the eye cleaner in his eye and all should be well. Should you notice that he squints that eye, or that there is a discharge or that there is reddening, I suggest to take Marcus to a veterinarian for an exam.
