Wrong ointment

2017-05-19 15:22:35
Hello! Last night i happened to apply Opexa gel (for scar treatment) instead of Ocupol (eye ointment) to my eyes... I had a little burning sensation which i thought was due to the new spectacles... I just realised it today that i applied the wrong ointment... Is there any chance something will happen to my eyes?

There is not much harm but you may use Refresh liquigel eye drops & Tobrex eye drops 5-6 times for 3-4 days as precautionary measure .
