Yes. The active ingredient in Visine eye drops is Tetrahydrozoline HCl 0.05%. Swallowing this substance can result in a number of nasty effects, including:
- Lowering body temperature to dangerous levels
- Making breathing difficult, or even halting it entirely
- Blurring vision
- Causing nausea and vomiting
- Elevating and then dropping blood pressure
- Causing seizures or tremors
- Sending the ingester into a coma
Pfizer's cautions to users of Visine include: "If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away." In view of the above list, that advice should not be taken lightly.

How much visine eye drop?
Visine has an active ingredient which reduces redness by shrinking the blood vessels. (also known as a vasoconstrictor) These same blood vessels are responsible for bringing oxygen and nutrients to your eyes. So, basically it's like shrinking a fire hose to a garden hose to put out a fire. (Visine should be used very sparingly) If you have persistent redness, you have other eye problems that need to be addressed by your eyecare professional.
