While on the phone with a friend earlier this week, Barlow, 46, found herself in "awful pain" after reaching for a bottle of what she believed to be eyedrops, but was actually nail glue, she told Page Six on Thursday. "It was awful," she told the outlet, explaining that the nail glue, which is the same size as her eyedrops, was put away in the wrong spot. Barlow immediately rushed to the emergency room, where she was told by a doctor that she had "damaged a cornea." "I guess there are four levels of your cornea and it went into level three," she explained. "It scratched up my whole eye and they had to use surgical tweezers to pull out the eyelashes on the corner."
