A member asked:

I accidentally sprayed saline nasal spray into the baby's eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

By itself the saline would likely irritate the eyes. However, if it was contaminated by nasal germs it may give rise to a surface bacterial infection at that location. Just monitor for redness & discharge. If this occurs contact babies doc.
