Im an rn and got subq heparin squirted in my eye tonight as a joke at work.. can this be harmful? i also wear contacts.

Time: Whatever was going to happen has happened. If your vision is okay, there is no need to worry. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine Wish you good health!

Heparin: Heparin can cause inflammation of the eye Injection tearing and irritation. If so see an ophthalmologist for treatment. If contact lenses were in replace with new pair.

A "JOKE": IT'S NOT! That Heparin is both active on your eye and long lasting (luckily reversible!) but it is absorbed biologically ! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
