What if you have nail glue in your eye?
If inadvertently you are pouring into the eye of the nail glue, do not panic. Do not rub the eye. Place a towel soaked in lukewarm water on the eye for a few minutes to try to soften the glue. Then rinse the eye with lukewarm water to try to eliminate the product. Above all, if your eye does not open, do not force because it could be more harmful than glue itself. If your eye does not open after 10 or 15 minutes, or if you feel a strong burn or pain, go to the emergency room.
