Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.
I think it will not irritate your eyes.
It may lower your blood sugar a little bit so you can have a fruit juice and something to eat in order to increase blood sugar.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
