Health This Morning When I Was Stumbling Around Without My Glasses On

Posted by Grant Brissey on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 11:03 AM

I went to put some eye drops in, but accidentally put ear drops in my left eye. Is this bad?

Are you experiencing synesthesia?

If you're that visually impaired, always put bright colored tape on your eye-drops bottle, so that you can see it's safe even without your glasses.

I can't read the poll. I put eardrops into my eyes some years ago.

Your symptoms may include posting random photos for no reason.

At least you won't have to worry about waxy eyes.

I would call a nurse hotline instead of leaving your eye care up to random people on the internet.

If you start seeing dead birds everywhere you go, it's bad. If not, simply soak up the excess with a dash of foot powder, and go on about your business.

What's in the eardrops? Did it hurt?

Oh, polls are fun. Even random ones. (I voted "no").

Your eardrops probably contain carbamide peroxide, which acts like hydrogen peroxide but a little less fizzy. Could still burn your eye. I assume by now you've rinsed your eye out thoroughly (under cool running water). Dry and style your hair... whoa, that was quick! If you normally wear contacts, don't today. Use a lubricating eyedrop (have someone else read the label for you, dumbshit). Steal someone's seeing-eye dog to get to work (we've all seen then on TV; how hard can they be to work?).

The only thing that can help you is lots of alcohol.

You have something wrong with both your eyes and ears? You on drugs or sumpun? Ditch all that eye drop ear drop nose drop crap and just pray hard.

Where's the option for "I'm no medical doctor, but I'm happy to point and laugh at you"?

Posted by evilvolus on July 19, 2011 at 11:23 AM

It'll all go to the same place, won't it?

@14 - Welcome to Slog. That option goes without saying.

@ 5, you know, it isn't that hard to scroll past these. And if you think "random shit" has no place on SLOG, then you really must be new here.

Geez, Grant and Prince Frederic von Anhalt.

Posted by raindrop on July 19, 2011 at 12:00 PM

I voted that it wasn't a bad thing. I think we should all go through at least one day out of our lives looking like Popeye I tells ya.

Posted by bobbelieu on July 19, 2011 at 12:07 PM

@18 beat me to it. Just be thankful it's not crazy glue (or any kind of glue, really).

17: correction, he should get a personal blog for his INANE shit.

Posted by six five on July 19, 2011 at 12:25 PM

It means YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!

Posted by seandr on July 19, 2011 at 12:36 PM

Now you can see what I'm saying...

Posted by v-man on July 19, 2011 at 12:37 PM

Just put eye drops in your right ear and they'll cancel-out each other. No, really.

Posted by Anastasia Beaverhausen on July 19, 2011 at 12:39 PM

@ 21 - my answer remains the same. You know about Charles Mudede, don't you?

Posted by Matt from Denver on July 19, 2011 at 1:06 PM

Quick, go watch 200 Motels again. It will all make sense now.

Posted by knobtheunicorn on July 19, 2011 at 2:57 PM

RIP, Grant.

Don't worry. There have been wonderful strides made in braille pornography.

Posted by tkc on July 19, 2011 at 4:00 PM

I wish this had been a poll about which Slog staffer accidentally put ear drops in his eye. I knew with certitude before I looked at the byline.

Why is that?
