Eye, Eye, Eye

Whoops:
Irmgard Holm had cataract surgery last year. She mistakenly reached for what she thought was one of her half dozen eye drop medications -- but the burning sensation that followed let her know something was seriously wrong.

It was superglue.

"The bottles are identical and I am not young anymore, but I am not senile," Holm said.

She tried washing the adhesive out, but the quick-drying glue did its job
and sealed her eye shut.

Paramedics and hospital staff had to get it open and wash out her eye before major damage was done.

  3. I practically envisioned this entire entry based upon the title of the piece alone.
