Nicotine and the Eye

[Stevenr]

A small amount of nicotine (1/2 a drop) of 15mg/ml juice splashed into my eye when fiddling with my cartomiser, it didn't sting and I washed my eye under water. Any advice?

You will be fine. Just make sure you flushed your eye out really good with water or a saline solution.
If you have redness/swellin that doesn't go away after the first day consult your dr.

I'm surprised it didn't sting! I remember taking my contacts out after smoking a cigarette once and the BURN!! it was awful.

But yeah just rinse with saline and you should be fine. Any redness or pain that doesn't go away would be good to have checked out just in case but it doesn't sound like you did any injury to your eye

Pretty sound advice form Mal.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought people were going to discuss the fat that nicotine use adversely affects your night vision LOL.
