Oops! Woman mistakes glue for eye drops

PHOENIX — An Arizona woman accidentally glued an eye shut when she mistook super glue for her eye drops.

KSAZ-TV says Irmgard Holm of Glendale had cataract surgery a year ago. She was reaching for what she thought was one of her half-dozen eye drop medications. The burning sensation told her immediately something was seriously wrong.

Holm says the eye drops and the super glue bottles are nearly identical.

After putting super glue in her eye, Holm says she tried washing it out. But the quick-drying substance did what it was supposed to and sealed her eye shut.

Holm got to the hospital and staff cut off the hardened glue covering her eye. Once the eye was opened, doctors washed it out to prevent major damage.

Reckon she needed some shut eye.

I have a story on Squeeze Butter vs Suntan Lotion that I need to tell about. Same thing.. bottles were damn near the same and someone ate the wrong thing!

Ok, so I get the fact that Super Glue and eyedrops look alike..but why would she store them in the same place?
