What Happens If Betnovate Ointment Goes Into My Eyes?

hello,

My son has eczema and when it flares up i apply on the affected area betnovate ointment. Yesterday night, i forgot to wash my hands and probably touched my eyes while sleeping. Tonight i felt my eyes was a bit sore and very red under my eyelid. I am quite worried cause I have read that the side effect can be glaucoma...I am also worried about my son because when I do apply this cream on his eczema, when its itchy he does scratch himself and touch his eyes as well....He has been complaining about his eyes several time for no reason, and his eyes seems to be normal but does not want me to have good look....Shall I be very worried? Thank you for your answer

nothing will happen if it goes into eye. it amount to applying steroid eye ointment in eye. need not be worried. in future avoid it applying it in eye.
