What to do in the event Indermil® flexifuz eTM gets into the patients eye.
Indermil® flexifuze™ should not be applied to the surface of the eye. If the eye is bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with a wet pad. Indermil® flexifuze™ will bond to the eye protein and will cause periods of weeping which will help to debond the adhesive. Keep the eye covered until debonding is complete - usually within 1 to 3 days. Do not force the eye open. If residual adhesive remains contact an ophthalmologist.
