I have dry eye and on restasis for a while & good results i do 2-3 drops per eye 2x a day. just realized its 1drop. did i do damage? am scared.

Not really: Just use it one drop twice a day. In order to avoid eye drop medicine into your system just pinch the inner corners of your eyes after application for a few mins. This will enable you to block tear drainage system from your eye to your nose then to the system.
