Does Accidental Splash Of Lidocaine In Eyes Cause Any Dangerous Effect?
while injecting lidocaine with 27 gauge needle intradermally, as I pulled the needle out I kept injecting and some splashed back on my face and I feel into my right eye. Pt is hep c positive. No blood I could see, and no needle stick. Is there a known risk for this type of event for hep c conversion?

There is less chance of contacting hepatitis c But better to keep watch get blood tested after 6months repeat it after 6month.
