Doctors are reporting that more people are mixing up their eye drops and glue, resulting in more patients with glue in their eyes. “It’s amazing how many products look similar, and we can end up putting them in the eye by accident,” Dr. Richard Davidson with HCHealth said. Lash and nail glue in particular are found in smaller bottles resembling eye care products. “We really encourage you, if you can get to a sink, try and wash it out or take a towel and loosen it up a little bit because the quicker you act, the better,” Dr. Davidson recommended. He also noted the importance of reading labels before applying drops.
