Is Refresh Plug Effective In Clearing Vision By Reducing Alcohol's Effect?

I am deeply into health. I almost never get sick in the past 25 yrs. About a week ago I contracted conjunctivitis from someone. I was prescribed an antibiotic and made the mistake, about 3 days ago, of putting rubbing alcohol on my eyelids, thinking it would kill any pathogens. It got INTO my eyes, burned them and has affected my vision. When I wake up there seems to be a fog-like mist over my eyes. A Dr. recommended using Refresh Plus for the pink eye. I just took the first application of it. Will the alcohol's effect go away and the pink eye heal soon with no residual effects?
