Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, says he mistook his wife's nail glue for eye drops when he accidentally glued his eyelid shut Tuesday.

Von Anhalt, 68, was rushed to an LA-area hospital and must wear a black patch over his right eye for two weeks, he told CNN.

It was stupid," Von Anhalt said after a doctor repaired the damage at a Beverly Hills eye clinic.

When Von Anhalt returned to his Bel Air, Calif., home later Tuesday morning he moved his wife's nail glue from the couple's bathroom.

"She doesn't use it anymore," Von Anhalt said.

Gabor, 93, suffered an eye injury years ago when she mistakenly used "crazy glue" on her eyelashes, said her daughter, Francesca Hilton.

Gabor has been in and out of the hospital since breaking her hip in July.
