What are the dangers of ingesting eye drops?

it depends on how much you ingest. you could be poisoned and would most likely have an upset stomach. the box that the eye drops comes in would probably have more details!

if it is in fact Brugmansia, this plant contains scoplamine and atropine.. atropine is what eye doctors drip into your eye to dialate the pupil during examinations.  both of these compounds are anticholergenic drugs..  causing rapid heart beat, dry mouth, and hallucinations/delutions .. they basically make you dream while your awake.  very toxic at high doses, and also prescribed to combat nausea or motion sickness in pill or skin patch form.

Malignant hypertension (high blood pressure) can damage blood vessles in the eyes, kidneys, or brain. Left untreated it can be fatal within six months.\n\nBut dont panic yet, one red eye could be caused by a number things such as:\n\n*lack of hydration; sleeping for 7-8 hours rehydrates the eyes\n*infection of the eyelid (blephartis); cleaning well with warm water before sleeping will fix that\n*over-use of eyedrops constricts you blood vessels; use sparingly (and make sure the drops are not old - infection!), or euse artificial tear drops instead\n*hot eye; use a cool clean washcloth to constric the blood vessels WITHOUT the rebound affect that happens with eye drops.\n\nIf it is hypertension then there is a lot of info out there to help you. I can recommend this book due to its naural and gentle approach to lowering your blood pressure ( http://www.coolestebooks.com/products2.html ). Best of luck with it!

Sure you can absorb drugs through your eyes. I had an eye injury once and they made me take steroid eye drops; they were absorbed there.

sometimes if your eyes are really dry, it stings when your eyes water,  you should put eye drops in them to water them up

brake fluid from vehicles in your eye is very dangerous, it is a corrosive chemical which can cause blindness and permanant damage to face and eyes. Rinse your eyes immediately if exposed to brake fluid. Then call 911 yourself if you are alone. If its the other brake fluid, its ok, just wash your eyes out.

Glaucoma\n\nIt's due to increased fluid (aqueous humor) that isn't being removed by the ciliary processes of the eye.\nIt can lead to blindness, due to progressive damage of the optic nerve.\nThere are drops to treat it.\nThey do that test at the opthalmologist where they blow the puff of air in your eye to test for increased pressure.

Actually it's not good for you as excessive rubbing with too much pressure can cause your eyeball to change it's shape resulting in vision problems (even just a slight change in the shape can cause this).  Why do some people's brains make drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes feel good?  Not real sure there is an answer for that.  My guess, because we as human beings naturally tend to like things that aren't all that good for us.  Especially when we know it isn't good for us.  LOL.  Or it could be that rubbing them causes your eyes to produce more tears thus clearing debris (bacteria, dirt, etc) that is irritating the eye out of the eye.  Just a guess.\nOh and your eyes have a natural defense against most bacteria/fungi that would get into your eyes (tears, which are used to flush these things as well as others from your eyes.  If I"m not mistaken your tears are slightly acidic which kills a lot of organisms that would get into your eyes.  I might be wrong on that though, they might be slightly basic.  Whatever, the pH level of your tears has something to do with it)  That said, it is a good idea to wash your hands before touching your eyes or any other part of your face.

Take "Blink" eye drops (manufactured by AMO). These are new drops (sodium Hyaluronate---filled in eye ball naturally also,, AND has transient preservative so that your eye receives  "preservative-free" drop). Put 2 drops each eye, 4 times a day. Its visco-elastic property will give you great relief.\nIf you do not find it at a chemist shop, you will get it at "contact-lens" shop.

some of the methanol will soak thru the skin and enter the bloodstream(how much I couldn't say). Once in the body it will become oxidized to formaldehyde which is very bad for the optic nerve in particular. \nit is possible to go permanently blind by this. people that consume too much methanol can and do die from methanol poisoning.\nif you say only a small amount was spilled on you you may be ok but wouldn't you rather know for sure and talk to a doctor?

Absolutely not!  It is not intended for use in the eyes.  If you have an eye infection, see your doctor or eye physician (either can help) for an antibiotic eye drops or ointment prescription.

Rinse your eyes with water as often as you can.  Try taking a vitamin A supplement - it's a fat based vitamin that your body uses to make the lubricant for your eyes.  If it persists do see an eye doctor.
