Applying Kohl(*) or eye-drop or anything to the eyes

(2) Applying Kohl(*) or eye-drop or anything to the eyes

It is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (S) to apply Kohl to his eyes (unfortunately this practice has been abandoned by Muslim men of this age). There are reports of many Sahaba applying Kohl while fasting, among them Anas who did not see any harm in use of Kohl for the fasting person. [Bukhari].

Similar is wearing or smelling perfumes.
