Accidentally put pet eye cleaner in my cat's eyes. Is it safe?

Hello. I dropped Dr Clauder's eye care in Noushi's eyes for two days. The vet told me to do so. But now that I read the instruction, it is only for cleaning the area around the eye. Did I harm her eyes ? Nothing is wrong with her but I'm worried

Typically most eye flushes and things like this are safe if you happen to get some in the eye as well. I don't see any alarming ingredients there either that will cause any harm. From now on continue to use it around the eye just to be on the safe side. Also monitor her for any yellow or green discharge or excessive squinting, which would indicate she may have damage to her cornea and needs to be seen. And if your pets condition isn't improving, a recheck with your vet is the next best step. I hope this helps! Best wishes with your pet Noushmc. Take care.
