Mistakenly used ear drops in eye

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I mistakenly used Oticin-C ear drops in my eye, it was burning hence I realised it's not my usual eye drops, so I went and rinsed my eye with fresh water and then put Takfresh eye drops in my eye. My eye feels normal, just burned a little because of ear drop formula, and rinsing of eye. What should I do, is it dangerous?
