I have noticed that sometimes when I blow my nose my right tear duct blows out air. When using your neti pot product it felt as though some may have flowed into my eye. Is this dangerous? and should I use eye drops? or is it a harmless saline solution?

Saline solution for the eyes is harmless. If you are wearing contact lenses it could possibly affect the lens depending on the contact lens material. Please make sure not to blow your nose hard after rinsing. Your tear duct is connected to the nose through the nasolacrimal duct and some solution can flow through this if you blow too hard.
