abstract="A 5-year-old Japanese boy presented to the emergency room of our hospital because his right eye had been glued shut for 2 h following instillation of cyanoacrylate adhesive. The clinical examination showed redness of the right upper and lower lid skin; the right eyelid margins adhered to each other because of matting of the eyelashes, and crystallized glue was found within the matted eyelashes. The &quot;hook&quot; technique, which separates the eyelids using a blunt-tip device, was performed to separate the lids. The technique seems to be simple and safe for physicians such as ophthalmology residents to use to treat cyanoacrylate-induced adhesion of the eyelids of patients who often first present to their local emergency room as in our case.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
