abstract="BACKGROUND: Not infrequently, patients mistakenly put glue in their eye. This often induces considerable emotional and physical reaction. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 20-year-old man came to the Emergency Department at night because he had mistaken a tube of superglue for his eye ointment and instilled the glue into his right eye. All the glue was removed, as were most of his eyelashes. The glue-induced corneal abrasion healed completely and the patient did not sustain any permanent injury. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Despite the considerable dismay and severe pain caused by mistakenly introducing superglue into the eye, most cases have a favourable outcome.<p /> <p>Language: nl</p>",
