One of my study books has an occasional humerous question, humerous mostly because it probably happens more than you think... this was my favorite today.
How can Krazy-Glue be removed if a patient has stuck their eyelids together?
This does present a problem... the two common ways to remove Krazy-Glue are acetone (finger nail polish remover) and ethanol (an alcohol)... both which can under no circumstances be used on the eye...
The answer, incase I got you curious... Irrigation with water immediately... then mineral oil. But sometimes you still have to surgically seperate the lids which is a very difficult and risky procedure.
That's your lesson of the day.
