Mistakenly used ear drops in eye
I mistakenly used my Otocin-C ear drops in eye, it started burning and hence I realised it's not my usual eye drop, so I washed my eyes immediately with fresh water.
Then put Takfresh eye drops in my eyes for lubrication purpose.
Eye and vision seems to be fine, the usual burning and watery eye is there because of ear drop formula.
Is it dangerous, does it need special attention or will it get better with eye drops and relaxation.
Please suggest the needful.

No it is not dangerous. But you can continue with Takfresh and use cold compress three times four times a day instead of washing the eyes.
Nothing to worry about.

You may need Saline wash and slit lamp examination to assess the status of the surface of the eye.
Meanwhile keep using your lubricant eye drops 3 times per day and also ciprofloxacin eye drops 4 times per day to prevent infection.
You can initially take an online consultation to grade the severity of damage and then further plan a visit to doctor in person if required.
Next Steps
online consultation
