- DanBC 11y agoI don't think so. Here's a case from 2010: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22442649 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22442649 > Inadvertent ocular cyanoacrylate, or 'superglue', instillation has been reported frequently since 1982 when superglue was repackaged into ophthalmic style dropper bottles. This case report highlights the continuing problem of cyanoacrylate eye injuries and serves as a reminder to healthcare professionals to report such incidents to manufacturers and regulatory bodies, on behalf of their patients, to promote the introduction of universal safety mechanisms on all household chemical containers. Failure of glue manufacturers to introduce safety cap mechanisms has resulted in significant ocular morbidity over the last 27 years, and such incidents are expected to occur until superglue bottles are redesigned.
