See lime entering the eye is considered to be a type of chemical injury to the eye. The damage it causes depends upon the amount and the contact period.
Since in your case you are not experiencing any redness after 48 hrs it might have been a very small amount and you must have washed it thoroughly.
So nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
In case you feel some foreign body sensation or discomfort start refresh liquigel eye drop 4 times in a day.
Health Tips
In case you develop redness or discomfort persists consult an ophthalmologist.
