Nurses are human, so forgive them and get on with your life.

Wound adhesive can be applied with a swab, but if you are choosing to use a dropper, then a. forewarn what will happen if the adhesive gets in the eye – be preapred for the possibility, and pay attention.

Nice of you to fault the parents for the nurses mistake.

I felt very bad, apologized profusely, had them keep the margins moist with ointment, and that the eye would open in a few days. I followed up by phone and by day two the eye was back open. The parents were miffed, but I am glad they were not like these raving lunatics. Just move past it. I have had a kid flinch and move at the wrong moment and I glued his eye shut.
