Pregnant. Tonometry Test Done, Put Some Proxymetacaine Drops In Eye. Is There Any Harm To Foetus?

Thanks for the query.
according to FDA proxymetacaine comes under category C drug in pregnancy,
no adverse effects noted in human pregnancy according to literature and there are no sufficient animal studies on it,
so as the doctor told it will be eliminated from body in 20 minutes and as you are just in implantation stage(in case of positive pregnancy), possibly there may not be any problem to your baby.
so you don't worry, take folic tablets and multivitamin and mineral tablets from now onwards and check for pregnancy at the time of your expected date of periods.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
