I do not think the glaucoma drops in the ear would hurt you and I hope you appropriate the right drops to the right sites in the future.

No. The glaucoma drops won't hurt your ear, but they won't help either. Probably you have already come up with a system to prevent doing this again in the future. You may consider selective laser trabeculoplasty for treating your glaucoma. It is very safe, effective, easy on the patient, and many patients are able to go without daily glaucoma drops afterward. Fewer daily meds = better life!
