I'm pretty book smart. I'm a theoretical physicist. This could very easily happen to me. Luckily, I don't keep strong glue, so the only time it happened it was oily ear drops in my eyes that made my vision blurry for a little while.
I dunno, maybe I'm just very protective of my eyes. I always check expiration dates on eye drops, forget about not realizing IT'S GLUE.
I guess I don't check my eye drops as much because I tend to finish them long before they expire. Routine things that only take a few seconds are easy to do without paying attention either way though.
I've got a small tube of hydrocortisone cream. I've also got a small tube of toothpaste for travel use.
Accidents have very nearly happened. If it wasn't for the minty smell it likely would have done by now. Especially when not wearing corrective eye-wear.
