Now, Shipley is opening up about the importance of keeping medical products organized
A woman has gone viral on TikTok after sharing that she mistakenly put nail glue, instead of medicated eye drops, into her eyes — leading to a hospital visit and a warning to others about the importance of keeping medical products well-organized.
Brianne Shipley was half-asleep on Oct. 31 when her Amazon Alexa device notified her that it was time to apply her eye drops.
Shipley, who lives in central Florida, had recently been prescribed the drops for a bacterial infection. As a first-time eye drop user, they weren’t a part of her regular routine — but she kept them on her nightstand so she could apply as directed, every few hours.
