Eye drops or liquid medicine can be used while fasting. It will not break the fast. It does not include food. It also does not serve the purpose of drinking. According to modern medical science, there is no direct route from the eye to the stomach. So eye drops can be used during fasting. Although there is a danger of it going down the throat, the jurists have called it permissible due to the direct issue in the hadith.
Rasulullah (s.a.w.) used Surma on his eyes while fasting. The use of eye drops is similar to eye drops. Ayesha (R.A.) said, “The Prophet (S.A.W.) used surma on his eyes while fasting.” (Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1687)
Yes, it is allowed during Ramadan. It can be said that, it is not included at the food category. If it is a food then it will be the cause of breaking Fast.
