Abstract
Tissue adhesive are commonly used in ophthalmology to seal small corneal perforations. We report a case of inadvertent instillation of cyanoacrylate adhesive (Histoacryl) in the anterior chamber resulting in polymerization of the glue on the corneal endothelial surface, with iridocorneal and iridolenticular adhesion.
