Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. From your question i concluded that Cyanoacrylate product entered your eye and now you need to know the management. If i'm correct then the first and most important step is to wash eyes thoroughly multiple times with tap water. It will flush the product from your eye contact. Secondly, move away from source. In most cases such contact causes conjunctivitis(inflammation). It can be treated with simple antibiotic eye drops. I would suggest you to wash eyes and keep close eye. IF you observe any unusual symptom like burning sensation, decreased or blur vision then visit hospital to get it examined.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
