Insulin is a hormone, usually stored in an innocuous solution, perhaps with a few preservatives.

I am not a doctor, poison control can always give you a better answer.

However if there is any concern I would assume that a 15-minute standard flush with water or sterile saline solution would be all that is needed, as insulin does not contain anything caustic, acidic or alkaline.

I doubt that much is even necessary.

However, as the eye contains a very active blood flow and is somewhat permeable, if you are diabetic it may be a good idea to monitor your blood sugar more carefully than usual until you are sure you have not absorbed any. You should still not miss any regular correction doses, standard doses or long-acting doses, however.
