Note to self, never ever keep the super glue anywhere near your eyedrops.

Lesson. Never store your super glue in the same place as your eyedrops. Or else, look at bottle 1st.

Isn’t there an expression ‘keep your eyes glued’?

It is amazing to me how often we have to treat patients who somehow manage to get SuperGlue in their eyes.

Not red hot chili peppers, dirt clods or egg whites, but SuperGlue.

This happened to a woman in my husband’s carpool a few years back. Not the way to start your day.

FWIW, the doctors were able to remove the superglue and she suffered no longterm damage

My son did this but not with superglue. He put those breath drops into his eye. Ouch!

Knew a guy in the AF that kept a Visine bottle full of vinegar in his pocket. He used it to adulterate his urine tests. A friend got ahold of it once, and YOWEEE!!!

Reading glasses.

Never leave home without them and have a pair stashed in every room.

Additional related advice:

Never take both a sleeping pill and a laxative before bed.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I worked as an orderly during the 70s in a Home for the Aged.
Orderly’s tasks included checking the old fellows for empacked bowels.
The procedure involved a glove and some lubricant.
One day I saw an orderly, Joe, who was only a few years younger than our charges,
heading down the hall with a glove on one hand and an odd item in the other.
“Joe”, I asked, “what are you going to do with that?”
Joe in his thick German accent proclaimed, “Lubrication”.
Cracking up, I pointed out to him that the “lubrication” was actually Elmer’s Glue.
I only hope that the time I caught him was the first time he made the error.

A friend of mine’s Mother once squirted Rogaine in her nose thinking it was nasal spray. Had a mild heart attack.

I've often remarked at the similarity of packaging chosen by eye drops manufacturers and the makers of super glue. I thought it would only be a matter of time before stories like this started appearing.

Somehow, I don't think we'll read many stories about how poeple screwed up and used Visine instead of Krazy Glue.

Some time ago, an in-law used Brylcreem to brush his teeth.

Of course, he said it was to take care of his hair-lip....

That darned little Visine bottle is almost exactly the shape of the super glue bottle. I “double take” on it every time I use it.
