Brief Answer:
No further concerns!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Drops are safe on most mucosal surfaces including the eyes. Though you probably mistakenly applied to the eye, there are no added risks. The only setback is that this would no treatment benefit getting this drug into the eyes rather than the eyes.

I hope this reassures you. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
