Is Silicone Gel Safe to Use Near the Eyes?

I have a scar at the corner of my eye, between my upper and lower eyelid, that is slightly raised. I was told that laser treatment for scar removal can't be done because the scar is too close to my eye and was near a cosmetic eyeliner tattooed area. My eye doctor told me to use Vitamin E oil from the capsule, or silicone gel. I bought Dermatix Ultra scar treatment and it said not to use near eyes, and I want to know if it is safe to use on my scar as long as it doesn't get into the eye.
