It could at least negatively affect your vision somehow. Maybe make it have a random chance of reducing time between blinks either slightly, significantly, or somewhere in between.
Or maybe, make it so that with time, it permanently reduces your blink meter. Like, when you get this "blindness" you are normal for the first couple of minutes, but then every few times you blink, the blink meters starts to go down faster. So after a few minutes, you are permanently blind. It could even be done so that in order to keep the blink meter for decreasing, you have to take the eyedrops every few minutes.
This sounds unfair, but that's the point. Since the SCP universe is there to fuck with you. This will also make the player have to hurry up a lot, which would make them more careless and easier for them to die. Since this is not something that will happen often (only once even) it wouldn't be too big of a deal.
Maybe even make it so that there is a chance of getting a positive effect from the upgraded pill, so that the player would have a reason to risk it, and this would be more common, and since it wouldn't be necessary to upgrade the pill, you could just simply go without it, thus not making the game COMPLETELY unfair.
