Do Not do that .
If you think it's a serious condition ( one that the turtle will not be able to rectify on its own then take the turtle to the vet and he can diagnosis the condition and prescribe the proper treatment

Visine eye drops aren't even for HUMANS with eye infections; they are for dry eyes, not infected eyes. Good luck finding someone familiar with turtle anatomy to help you out, but I wouldn't take the chance on OTC eye drops and a turtle.

Go to the pet store they have special eye drops for that problem and it works for our turtles and we raise hundreds a year for a release program.

Ask a vet! You should never use health products made for humans on animals unless you are told it is ok by your vet.

No, the proper treatment is to identify and treat the cause- often dirty water, vitamin A problems, etc.
