Woman glues eye shut for eight hours after mistaking nail fixer for eyedrops

[mercurial]

Groping in the bathroom cabinet early one morning, her vision blurred by sleep, Paula Griffin grasped what she thought was her bottle of eye drops.

But instead she picked up an almost identical bottle of powerful nail glue and squirted it in her eye.

The blunder left her in agony and sealed her right eye shut. Relief only came eight hours later when doctors cut off her lashes and prised the eye open.

Who in their right mind leaves nail glue and eye drops next to each other?

Perhaps next time she'll keep the bottles in different cabinets?

glue is also thicker than eye drops so there's a distinctive weight difference between the two. Too bad people don't notice that... they don't notice much at all really... come to think of it.
