Police responded to a call from a woman on Wednesday morning who accidentally used cyanoacrylate adhesive, also known as Super Glue or Krazy Glue, in her eye instead of eye drops.

Pompton Lakes police responded to a 9 a.m. call from a 27-year-old Vernon woman after she used the fast-drying adhesive in her eye, according to Wanaque Police Department Capt. Kenneth Fackina.

Fackina said the woman had stopped on Union Avenue in Haskell and grabbed the bottle of glue by mistake rather than eye drops. When officers arrived on the scene, the woman had already removed her contact and was flushing it out with water.

"She was in pain," Fackina said.

The police contacted Poison Control, which advised flushing out the eye. She refused further medical attention and transport to a local hospital, according to Fackina. A family member arrived on the scene to assist.

This incident is not unique, according to published accounts. The Original Super Glue, on its website, offers tips on what to do if the product accidentally is used instead of eye drops.

"The adhesive will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over time, usually within several hours," according to the site. "Periods of weeping and double vision may be experienced until clearance is achieved. Use of water to wash eyes repeatedly may assist in aiding more rapid removal of the adhesive."

An eye doctor visit is also advised.
