The drops themselves are unlikely to cause any harm, but a child that young should not need them. If a child that small needs eye drops they should be taken to their pediatrician to see why their eyes are inflammed. The drops don't help to heal anything, they just make the symptoms decrease, so whatever is causing the inflammation is still there and could be doing permanent damage.

Will visine make your urinalysis inconclusive?

They claim it can fool one particular test, the EMIT bioassay. There are two problems here. First, it doesn't fool panels. so if the lab in question uses the drug panels--the little things with five, ten, twelve or whatever strips that turn color in the presence of drug metabolite--instead of assay testing, you'll come up hot. Second, you can program an EMIT machine to look specifically for Visine, and any sample that came up hot for Visine is going in the expensive GC/MS unit sitting on the next bench--which is NOT fooled by Visine.
