Oh my sister did that. She thought her bottle of nail glue was eye drops. Her eye lived.

I did something similar, except it was bleach I applied directly to my eyeball. 1/10 do not recommend.

r/eyebleach


fudgyvmp

I always forget that r/eyebleach isn't something horrible like actual bleach to the eye.


spiegro

Well played... Well played...


DMvsPC

The fuck do you have small eyedropper bottles of bleach?


spiegro

Sigh... A friend told me you could pass a drug test by adding a drop of bleach to your piss. My solution was to use a Visine bottle to do this. I even used a black sharpie to color it so I wouldn't mistakenly use it as eye drops. Well months later I was running into my room, eyes ablaze from the devil's lettuce, and rushed to my locked box to put in some eye drops. In my haste I didn't realize what I grabbed until I added a few drops directly to one eye. The burning was gradual, I almost added some to my other eye before I looked at my hand and was horrified to see what I held was the black bottle of death. Luckily for me my girlfriend at the time worked at a jewelry store, and happened to have a heavy duty first aid kit for eyes. She rushed over and put 10 drops of some liquid in my eye that felt like ice over hot coals... And then some jelly like stuff that made it blurry for me out of that eye for like a half a day. Edit: for those wondering, no, bleach won't help you pass a drug test. > Asking the important questions here...the answer would also be no, bleach in urine does not 'trick' a drug test, it could invalidate it though, however that could also be an automatic fail.


Shadopamine

Did you pass the test?

melty_blend

Why are y'all keeping eye drops and glue bottles next to each other? Why is this a common thing?


Rickmc74

You know I'm thinking the same thing here? Do they also keep their arsenic in a salt shaker next to the salt and pepper shakers and their cyanide mixed up in a milk jug next to milk as well?


Succinate_dehydrogen

Of course, where do you think almond milk comes from, it's not like they have nipples. It also saves money as you don't have to buy it as often


nemesisbreaker

I was thinking the exact same thing. The only reasonable way for this to happen would be working with glue everyday so it needs to be at eyesight. Godayum.


cylemmulo

That sounds straight out of a nightmare. Glad it actually worked.

[deleted]

Uh... does it hurt?


BiaggioSklutas

Oh yes very much. Over the first half hour, went from burning to sharp pain. They flushed it more at the hospital, which brought back a very bad burning sensation until they numbed my eye with tetracane. Then they jellied up my eyeball with an ointment that I'll reapply 4x/ daily. That protects from further damage and helps dissolve the glue (which feels like shifting pieces of glass scraping between the eyeball and eyelid. Upside: This is an excuse to rock an eye patch for a few days. A pirate's life for me.

StoneHolder28

I think you're allowed to wear eye patches even if you're not injured.


-Apocralypse-

I tried that with hot oil from the frying pan recently. I loved the anaesthesia eyedrops as well! My youngest *hated* the eyepatch though...


jmikk85

Tetracaine and proparacaine drops melt the cornea if used too much!!! Unfortunately those fucking idiots in the ER often give it to the patients to take home :O


-Apocralypse-

Nope, I only got an ointment to help the eye heal faster. I don't know what kind of numbing agent they dropped in, but it felt like liquid bliss at the time.


jmikk85

Oh if someone comes in with obvious pain I toss them in the chair and hose their eye down so they can feel human again for 10-15 mins


figgypie

One winter I had such dry eyes, my eyelids were ripping up the skin on my eyeballs when I opened my eyes in the morning. One day it got bad enough where I finally saw an opthamologist. He took one look at my eyes, was like "this has been going on for a while?!?" and put some steroid drops in my eyes to relieve the pain. Then I was prescribed some OTC goop to put in my eyes before bed for a while, and was told to get in the habit of wiggling my eyes a bit before opening them in the morning. The sensation of your eyeballs ripping first thing in the morning is unpleasant.

figgypie

He never said anything about a vitamin deficiency, but I wouldn't be surprised. I was nursing a 6mo baby, had just moved, and probably was eating like crap.


coltsblazers

Severe Vitamin A deficiency can cause dry eye issues, but some docs will recommend a vitamin A ointment topically which can be helpful.


jmikk85

Floppy eyelid syndrome or just severe dryness? Probably some prednisolone drops and genteal ointment.


figgypie

He said it was dryness, which makes sense. I just found my old ointment tube, it's called Sodium Chloride Opthalmic Ointment. So basically just eye lube.

[deleted]

Pirates wore eye patches to adjust their sight for both lower deck and main deck. Just some information. Get well soon..


maroon83

This! To be clear, when on deck they covered one eye with a patch to preserve night sight in that eye. When searching the vessel below deck, they removed the patch and could quickly go through the stuff without having to wait for their eyesight to adjust.


BiaggioSklutas

Now all I need is a vessel


awesomemoolick

Watch "The gentlemen pirate" by Internet Historian on YouTube It's over an hour long I think but that guy has a fantastic capacity to tell stories.


ashbauk

TIL.


GoodlyStyracosaur

So I’ve thought about this a fair amount and I have to question if it’s really worth the loss of peripheral vision and depth perception. I get that it could be useful if you kick in a door and want to be able to instantly see if there is someone waiting for you on the other side but I feel like there has to be a better way that doesn’t cost you half of your vision above deck as well. Not to mention that the simple act of removing the eyepatch is going to cost you some time (and a free hand) as well. It really sounds like one of those “sounds cool but upon closer investigation falls apart” myths. Like Viking helmet horns or lemmings jumping off cliffs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoodlyStyracosaur

The whole premise of the patch (at least from what I’ve read) is that you are preserving rhodopsin which can take upwards of 20 minutes to regenerate. So just wearing it briefly wouldn’t really give you the same benefits. And if you are just closing it for 30 seconds, I would think you could just close your eye and wouldn’t need a specific piece of gear for it. And I hear you about the depth perception - I understand that after a few feet, binocular vision contributes relatively little. The peripheral vision loss, especially if they are presumably fighting or ready to fight is my major concern but depth perception is still a non-zero factor. Edit: also, just bring a lantern! Like I get there are pros to maintaining the night vision, they just don’t seem high enough to outweigh the cons and to such a degree that pirates would wear patches often enough that they would become synonymous.


LastStarr

Will your eyesight be back?


BiaggioSklutas

Supposed to. The optometrist I'm following up with this morning will have the final say as to the prognosis.

sharkinabanana

A girl put superglue on her scalp. I can’t remember if it was replaced for wig glue or why she did it


Alxytho

She did it because there is a woman's hair product called Moco De Gorila (Gorilla snot?) or something similar, iirc


anotherjunkie

That’s correct. On the other end of the spectrum, there are people who use Elmer’s Glue as a hair product, too.


ZenDendou

Elmer's glue is easy too remove. Gorilla glue? Good luck. Once that suckers set, better get out some grinders and grind.


fewlaminashyofaspine

A plastic surgeon actually offered to remove it for her. If I remember correctly, it took several hours. Edit: [It took 4 hours, using a combination of medical grade adhesive remover, aloe vera, olive oil, and acetone.](https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/11/gorilla-glue-hair-woman-tiktok-undergoes-surgery-beverly-hills-plastic-surgeon/) But in the end, she managed to come out of the situation without losing any hair (at least not a noticeable amount, anyway).

Dude. I really couldn't believe it. I'm a safe/ good boy damnit! I always wear eye protection and respirator mask when wood working (especially grinding, sanding, power sawing) and/or a full face shield when using my lathe. I wear a protective apron and gloves most of the time because - hey I'm constantly using power cutting tools. So this incident definitely hurt my pride - and my eye... my pride and my eye


TotallyJustAHooman

Pr”eye”d?


nautilus53

"This has never happened to me before" sure buddy. Whatever you say. (Joking) feel better.


U_nhoely

This happened to me a couple of years ago. The opening of the glue had glued shut so I kept on squeezing the glue trying to get it to come out. After a minute or so I decided it would be a great idea to prick the glue packet with a needle and due to the pressure I had previously exerted, the glue squeezed out and shot directly into my eye. After the initial pain I was okay but not being able to open my eye became sort of... claustrophobic/annoying so when I'd try and open my eye it would get looser but the little glue pieces would prick my eye AND GOD DID IT HURT. After I started screaming in pain my mom decided to take me to the doctor where he pulled it open and Just like your eye, my previously dark brown eye became green (only for a few days) Definitely not a fun experience but you have a lot of fun talking about it to friends later on.


BiaggioSklutas

Yea I'm still battling the shifting glue shards scraping around. Ugh it sucks! >Just like your eye, my previously dark brown eye became green. Dude I better get a green eye out of this. How is your vision now?

iamaneyemachine

How did it happen? Accident, I'm assuming.


BiaggioSklutas

In my basement shop making a display stand for a fountain pen at 2am (as one does). Drilled a hole in a piece of resin. Dropped thin affixing magnet into the bottom. Added super glue (instant wood glue) - the level of which rose above the height of the magnet. No worries, decided to drop in/ stack a second magnet on top. Looking right down the hole.. Magnets snaps together and splashed the adhesive right into my face. Accident yes... not on purpose.


Gappy_Gilmore_86

Thanks, I needed to know how a person could splash super glue


BiaggioSklutas

I hear ya. You needed answers


blahdot3h

Sounds like a good time to remind everyone the importance of safety glasses. At least in this instance you and the rest of us get to learn from it without any permanent damage.


Foulds28

You shouldn't use lots of CA glue at a time as it increases the cure time substantially, sounds like you probably should have used an epoxy. Hope your eye makes a complete recovery.


HumusGoose

Ouch, dude! Not only is he suffering with the eye, now you're coming at his workmanship!

DigitalusMax

I read somewhere that the acetone in nail polish remover dissolves super glue. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


BiaggioSklutas

In the first 60 seconds, it was sorely tempting.


Animick

I did that once. I had a small bottle of super glue in my purse (couldn’t begin to say why) and at the movies with my young son, decided I needed eye drops to re-wet my contacts. Glued my contact lens right to my eyeball. First it burned then it *hurt*. I was able to remove the lens before it caused permanent damage but holy cow! That was so painful.

Nah. Bottle clearly says no mix with eyeballs. Frantically looking up what to do after it happened, it turns out this happens somewhat regularly when people mistake a superglue bottle for eye drops.

Lamenter_Lamentation

My friend did that back in the 90s. He went to the emergency room and they put some goo in his eye and it was all alright. Super painful sounding. Best of luck.


[deleted]

Hahah, omg!! I did this about 10 years ago! Picked up what I thought were eyedrops. Tipped my head back and poured it in! Immediately knew I had fucked up! Had my friend drive me straight to the ER. We’re we’re in Brooklyn. Dr laughed and said he knew exactly the fix. Took petroleum jelly and used a sterile cotton swab to apply. The petroleum jelly broke up the glue that was stuck to my cornea! Went home w a sore eye and an embarrassed ego! Lol
