Keep your eyes glued to this
A Buddhist monk from Thailand recently had his sight partially restored after having accidentally glued his eyes shut with superglue. The monk mistook the tube of glue for eye drops and had to go to the hospital where workers had to use a chemical solvent to open his eyes. The monk said he squeezed a few drops from a tube onto the floor and saw that a clear liquid was coming out. He then assumed the tube contained eye drops, so he squeezed four drops into each eye. After a minute or so, he said his eyes felt cold and were completely sealed. He then applied paint thinner to try to release the glue’s hold but only succeeded in burning his eyes. The hospital said the monk should regain total sight in both eyes.
