It depends on what the eyedrops are for. If they are simply to wet the eye to compensate for affected tear duct flow then you are probably safe. However if they have any kind of medicinal function then you should check either the CONTRAINDICATIONS that should be packaged with the product or else look it up on the Net.

However the safest course of action during pregnancy is to be extremely wary of any foreign substances or medications and always check the leaflet or packaging for warnings about use during pregnancy or ask your local pharmacist at the nearest drugstore because they are often better informed about the medicines they dispense than a doctor is.

If they are prescription eye drops, you are over medicating and also the drops will not last the amount of time they should. If you use eyedrops a lot, be certain to use the ones that are liquid tears. Then, you will not have the other problems that regular use of ones for red eye will cause.
