WOMAN GLUES EYE SHUT

A Florida woman is seeking medical help after she mistakenly glued her eyes shut with super glue. Katherine Gaydos accidentally glued her eyes shut after getting debris into her eye last week. Something blew into her eye and she screamed for someone else to get eye drops out of her purse and they pulled out Super Glue. Dr. Pankaj Gupta, assistant professor of ophthalmology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, said he has seen multiple cases where people accidentally glued their eyes shut but that there are simple treatments to help them. “The first thing I think everyone needs to know is don’t panic,” Gupta says. The eye cells will slough off and eventually loosen the grip of super glue, he explained. “There is not a single thing that is permanent that will not slough off on its own,” he added. “In time it will go away.”
* First, let’s review the first sentence of this story: “A Florida woman is seeking medical help after she said she mistakenly glued her eye shut with super glue.” And she’s still seeking. The finding part is turning out to be really hard. Because her eyes are glued shut.
* “Thanks for pulling the Super Glue out of my purse, moron. Now could you point me towards an emergency room?”
* Then they cut from Florida to this Dr. Gupta in Ohio, while the lady with the glued eyes is still feeling her way along the sidewalk.
* The doctor’s advice is, “Don’t panic”? Look, if you put super glue in your eyes, you’re going to panic.
* Then he talks about the eye cells sloughing off. Yeah, that puts me at ease.
* This is why I never carry Super Glue in my purse.
