Can alcohol in your eye make you blind?

While alcohol consumption can have negative consequences for overall health and well-being, it is not typically associated with causing blindness. The eye has innate mechanisms to protect itself from harmful substances and contaminants, including alcohol, and would naturally produce tears to flush out any potential irritants.

However, it's important to avoid extreme or unusual situations where high concentrations of alcohol come into direct contact with the eye. In such cases, excessive exposure or mishandling of certain solvents, chemicals, or certain alcoholic solutions may cause temporary or even permanent damage to the eye.

If large quantities of concentrated alcohol or unknown substances come into contact with the eye, promptly flushing the eye with clean water and seeking medical attention is essential to avoid any potential complications.
