Glue removed from Thai monk's eye
BBC
An elderly Thai monk who mistook a tube of superglue for eye drops can see again after doctors unglued one eye.

Phra Kru Prapatworakhun, 81, had been unable to see for nearly a week after applying the superglue, which he found in his temple's medicine cabinet.

Doctors used acetone solvent to remove the glue from one eye and said it was unharmed, the Nation newspaper reports.

An operation on the second eye, which is still tightly sealed, is scheduled for Thursday.

1. Daughter did something similar at age 12
After being told she could NO put on fake nails she decided to anyway (big suprise). She managed to flick the nail and put a spot of glue into her eye. Rushed to the pediatricians office and he put some stuff in it and patched it, the next day it had loosened itself and come off.

Oy vey!
