Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Tissue Adhesives

Background:

  • Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive is a medical adhesive used for wound closure.
  • It is indicated for small corneal perforations.
  • Ocular chemical injuries can lead to severe visual impairment.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old man sustained a bilateral eye injury from direct cyanoacrylate exposure.
  • The injury involved both eyes, presenting a unique clinical scenario.

Findings:

  • Despite the unusual bilateral nature of the injury, wound healing was achieved.
  • The healing process was described as laborious but resulted in low morbidity.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for cyanoacrylate to cause ocular injury through direct exposure.

  • It also demonstrates the possibility of successful wound healing even in severe, bilateral corneal trauma.
  • The lack of precedent emphasizes the need for awareness and careful handling of cyanoacrylate in proximity to the eyes.
