Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this accidental use of nasal saline in your eyes. The concentration is often low so much that this would cause no harm. There are several eye solutions which contain low dosages of saline. There is actually no harm as this is nothing more than salty water splashing into your eyes. In future, when you have any accident involving the eyes, always wash abundantly with fresh tap water.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
