Yes. The active ingredient in Visine and other OTC eye drops is fatal to humans if ingested internally, even in small doses. According to the warnings on Visine's website, the internal consumption of their products active ingredients will cause labored berating, sudden drops in blood pressure, central nervous system failure, coma, and possibly death. If is is ingested, even in a small quantity, you should contact a poison control center immediately.

Not Likely. According to FDA standards you can overdose. The most you may do is cause excessive dryness when not using the drops. A burning sensation may develop.
