Default I got clutch fluid in my eyes and I threw my clutch slave cylinder, is it broken

I ****ed up. I was changing the clutch line and as I had my clutch slave cylinder out and disconnected I pressed the piston or the thing that retracts and extends out and the thing squirted clutch fluid in my eyes. I cussed and dropped the thing without hesitation and ran to wash my eyes out with water. When I came back I installed the new line, slave cylinder and everything went well. I checked my fluid and the reservoir was empty so I filled it up with brake fluid. I had my brother try and help me bleed the air out and I couldn't get the clutch to react normally, it always snaps in or out. So then I decided to open the bleeder valve and press the slave cylinder in with my hand and that fluid came out from inside the boot and this is where I'm at now. This is an external slave cylinder btw, 2003 350z.

If you have fluid in the boot, the piston is most likely toast. Rebuild or replace

Replace it, they are cheap enough.
