Eyelid Glue Incident at Crumlin Hospital | Belfast News

A four-year-old girl, Saoirse, had her eyelids glued shut after a doctor over-applied glue during a routine eye treatment at Crumlin Hospital in August 2022. The incident required a grueling procedure involving three liters of fluid to remove the glue, followed by six weeks of daily antibiotic drops. Her family feared permanent vision damage, and she struggled with self-consciousness at school. Thankfully, no lasting harm occurred — Saoirse even forgot the ordeal. Children’s Health Ireland settled for €15,000, acknowledging the avoidable mistake and the family’s ordeal. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
