Brief Answer:
Just wash your eyes

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

Sorry to hear about methotrexate getting accidentally squirted in to your eyes.
This medication does not harm the eyes.
In fact topical methotrexate has been tried to treat certain eye ailments.

So do not panic or worry.
All you have to do is just wash your eyes with copious amount of water.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.Barani
