Summary
Putting medicine drops into the eyes does not invalidate the fast. The same ruling is stated for drops in the ears and nose, and for cleaning the ear with a probe. The condition is that it does not reach the eardrum.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak membatalkan puasa sekiranya menitiskan ubat ke dalam mata, telinga, hidung dan mengorek telinga dengan syarat tidak sampai ke gegendang telinga.
