Yes, Visine eye drops contain the active ingredient tetrahydrozoline, which can cause severe side effects if ingested in large amounts. If someone were to mix Visine into a drink, it could lead to symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or even loss of consciousness, depending on the quantity consumed. This practice is dangerous and illegal, and it can pose serious health risks. Always use medications as directed and never tamper with someone else's drink.
do not do this. My son slept over a friends house and didn't have solution so he put them in visine. The next morning he tried to put them back in but couldn't. They burned so bad he threw them away and suffered from burning pain day. His eyes didn't stop burning and swelled up. DO NOT USE VISINE WITH YOUR CONTACTS.
The Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc, who manufacture Visine, warn . . . do NOT use Visine while wearing contact lenses; however, you may use Visine while your contact lenses are out. Wait at least 15 minutes before putting in contact lenses after using Visine.
Oh yes, quite dangerous. Do not drink power steering fluid or anything else that you put into your car.

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.

Adding detergent to a drink can be dangerous if consumed as it can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and lead to stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. It is important to avoid ingesting detergent and seek medical attention if accidentally consumed.
