Convulsion is frightening when it occurs and some caregivers even think that the child is dying. Efforts are usually made to stop the convulsion at all cost. Many of the interventions carried out are useless, and some are harmful. We report this unusual intervention of applying a substance, “Miss Paris Perfume” to the eyes of a two year old girl which resulted into corneal opacity and subsequent blindness. We are reporting this case to call attention to this unusual but preventable cause of blindness. Health education on the correct immediate management of convulsion at home should be carried out continuously.
