Abstract

Objective: To determine the incidence of ocular injuries associated with superglue.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients attending an accident and emergency department over a 12 month period with ocular superglue injuries.

Results: 14 patients who suffered ocular injuries due to superglue were identified. No patients had long term complications from their injury. Management is discussed.

Conclusions: Superglue eye injuries do not appear to cause long term morbidity.
