Eye doctors warn of e-cigarette liquid hazard

Since the bottles looked similar at a glance, and the nicotine-laced liquid carried no warnings about the harm of contact with the eyes, the authors of a case report in JAMA Ophthalmology say e-cigarette users should be aware of this risk. The researchers describe a patient in her 50s who presented to the Tennent Institute of Ophthalmology at Gartnavel General Hospital in Glasgow with eye irritation. When she mistakenly dripped e-cig liquid in her eye she immediately experienced pain, redness and blurred vision.
