Hello,

I would not recommend you to use Occupal-D in your eyes as this contains two antibiotics and one steroid and by what you explain you need none of these ingredients and their use may expose you to side effects (especially the steroid).
It is normal to get watery eyes when riding a bike, this is due to wind and to avoid this you will need to wear proper glasses that protect your eyes while riding your bike.
Refresh tears can be used to keep your eyes from drying and help ease the discomfort. If no help with them or if you notice any new symptoms you will need to see the doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
