I wanted to put moisturizing drops in my eye, but I accidentally used essential oils. I rinsed well and then put moisturizing drops back in. Should I consult a doctor?

It is always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your eyes. If you have accidentally used a non-sterile product in your eye, there is a risk of developing an infection. It would be advisable to consult with an eye care professional, such as an optometrist, to have your eye examined and receive any necessary treatment, such as prescription eye drops. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly if you experience eye pain, sensitivity to light, or changes in vision.
