What occurs if you were to use eye drops when there is actually nothing wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are many eyedrops with varying effects. Most will do no harm if you accidentally take one or two drops, but if your eye starts to act strangely after using a drop, then call your ophthalmologist with the name of the drop at hand and he/she can advise you about its effect (or an emergency room can do the same thing).
