Short post, happened two days ago.
Rough week at remote work, eyes are strained and tired. Reach for my trusty eye drops, and experienced the ultimate betrayal.
It wasn’t my eye drops - it was nail glue. I held my eyelid open and squirted a healthy dose of superglue directly on to my eyeball.
Luckily I somehow had the wherewithal to hold my eyelids apart and peel off my contact lens, but I wasn’t fast enough and a huge glob of glue dried right on my cornea, and my lids and lashes felt like cement.
Paramedics had to come and use a medieval device to flush my eye out, which didn’t work, so then they had to resort to using q-tips like chopsticks to get the glue off my eye.
Next day I went to the eye doctor to have as much of the remains scraped and plucked off my lids and lashes as possible, and got some drops and ointment to help heal my scratched up eyeball.
I did learn through this process that superglue is non toxic to the eye, tho I still wouldn’t recommend this experience to anyone. (Though apparently it happens more often than you might think lol)
tl;dr: tried to lubricate my eyes with sweet sweet eyedrops, squirted myself in the eye with superglue instead.
