That would not help/be beneficial unfortunately and could potentially damage the eye surface. I would recommend not to use it, but eye discharge can be removed with a wet swap (room temperature). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
