I went for an eye test yesterday and all was fine until she tried to do the test where they blow air into your eyes to test pressure. It was getting a high reading because I was tense and she was worried about glaucoma so she had to do a different test called a tonometer. She had to put some drops in my eyes which I assumed were just a saline type drop as she didn't say anything else. I looked at the name on the pack and checked afterwards and they are an local anaesthetic eyedrop called proxymetacaine. I'm only nine days past ovulation and not had a positive test back yet but I'm worried that if I am pregnant I shouldn't of had it done incase I've harmed the baby. I'm panicking and I'm making myself worse and worse by looking things up on the internet. I'm so angry at myself, so much so that I'm actually hoping I don't get my bfp incase I've done some damage. I feel completely stupid. :cry:
 
Don't worry I assume if they were that dangerous she would have asked if you were pregnant before giving them to you.
