Coming across the most unexpected news has increasingly become common on social media. Recently, a video of a woman who was taken to the emergency room after she put superglue in her eye, mistaking it for eye drops surfaced on the internet and went viral.
Jennifer Eversole, who lives in Santa Rosa, California, shared the bizarre and scary experience on TikTok, which soon went viral. The video found its way to X (formerly Twitter).
According to a report by People, the incident happened in June, but the video appeared on social media platforms later and is going viral now.
Woman Mistakes Superglue For Eye Drops
The video shows the woman saying, “Well, I’ve gone and done it. I have won the most idiotic person award. My eye drops sit directly next to superglue, and they are in the same size bottle. I wasn’t paying attention, and now my eyelids are glued shut."
She recalled feeling an “intense burning feeling,” after which she immediately shut her eyes really fast. She said she didn't know if it was good or bad because it didn’t get on her eyeballs that much. However, she thinks it wouldn’t have glued her eyes shut if she hadn’t closed them, but she didn’t know what would have happened, and it could have been worse.
The woman was taken to a hospital's emergency room by an ambulance, where the doctors numbed her eyes with a drop and opened them. She was informed that she had scratches in her eye and blurred vision and would have to keep it covered until it healed.
She later clarified that the mistake happened after using the super glue to apply her daughter’s press-on nails. She explained to People that she forgot to put it away and remembered thinking that she should put it away so that nobody would mistake it for an eye drop, and that’s exactly what happened.
In an update to the bizarre incident, the woman shared another video on TikTok after visiting an ophthalmologist and said her eyes were “healing nicely.”
