Ananova: Monk accidentally glues eyes shut

A man who accidentally glued his eyes shut has had his sight partially restored.

Phra Khru Prapatworakhun, a Buddhist monk, mistook the tube of glue for eye drops.

Doctors at Angthong Hospital, north of Bangkok, used a chemical solvent to dissolve the glue in the monk's right eye, reports Sky News.

A hospital spokesman said: "His eye is not damaged, the right eye can see clearly after the operation and the doctors said the left eye also is not damaged."

Phra had gone to the temple's medicine cabinet looking for eye drops to soothe an itch. But mistakenly, he took a tube of superglue instead.

"I squeezed several drops on the floor and saw a clear liquid, so I put four drops into each eye. In about a minute, my eyes felt cold and then sealed closed."

He then applied paint thinner to try to get rid of the glue, which only caused his eyes to burn.
