Can Propane Fumes Cause Vision Loss?
Question: can propane poisoning affect your vision?
Brief Answer:
Yes and no.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
When the person is in direct contact with propane liquefied gas on eyes, this can cause even blindness.
When the person has an inhalation poisoning, then propane can affect the vision and the nerve controlling the vision (in which case, the nerve area in the Brain had a hemorrhage as a result of the poisoning). However, this doesn't happen often.
Hope I have answered your query.
