The best thing to do is rinse the eye as much as possible with artificial tears or saline eye wash. After that, if there is redness or swelling and she is not wanting to keep the eye open then take her to a vet tonight to see if it burned her cornea and created an ulcer. If she is holding it open and it does not seem to bother her, then monitor it for any changes
