Brief Answer:
Treatment on the basis of symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am unclear about the query.
What are the symptoms that you experienced with it?
Do you have cataract and do you want to treat them with flower honey?
Is it accidental exposure of the flower to the eyes?
What are the NAC drops?

There can be irritant conjunctivitis with eucalyptus flower honey if contact with eyes.
Wash off the eyes with cold water thoroughly till the entire contents are removed. You can put antihistamine drops like Azelastine in the eye to tackle burning and redness.
