Florida Woman’s Frightening Eye Drop Mix-up: Mistakes Glue for Medication (8/20)

Upon arrival, medical staff swiftly took her into an exam room, where doctors assessed the damage. They numbed her eye, examined it for tears and abrasions, and managed to remove the hardened glue shards.

“The acid in the nail glue had altered the pH level of my eye, so they had to get all that out,” the patient shared. “That flush took 30 to 45 minutes.”

Despite the initial embarrassment of her mishap, the woman’s experience served as a vital warning for others.

“I was so embarrassed when I got to the hospital but the doctor told me this happens a lot more than you think,” she said.
