      Spirited 6 my original reply was for someone else sorry, just well, it depends really, blindness is usually permanent, yes laser eye surgery can help some people but not all, this also does not correct it perfectly, usually about 80-90% if there is physical damage to the retina or the optic nerve then it’s permanent, if it’s a cataract there maybe a way to fix some of it, and if it’s a blood clot and your eye is deprived of oxygen long enough it is permanent I should say there are some exceptions but not many

    • @dwilson6769
      @dwilson6769 2 роки тому

      It's worse, much worse because vaping is easier to get a hold of. Vaping can be concealed and you can do it all day. I did it and now I can't even see what I'm typing and it's in a font 16 and when I put my glasses on my eyes hurt. Trust me when you lose your vision you better have some friends because of it completely goes who will you trust to lead you into tomorrow?

    Does alcohol drinking cause blindness? I quit smoking and I swear to myself never to start again. Smoking is a bad habit, I am ashamed of it.

    • @DrAlanMendelsohn
      @DrAlanMendelsohn  7 років тому +9

      Smoking one or two cigars a quarter will not damage the eyes. However, ENT colleagues maintain that this does increase the risk of cancers in the mouth and throat, albeit not a drastic increase. Finally, others will point out that when youth see you smoking, not aware that you do so to such a limited fashion, they believe that you as a role model have determined that smoking is fine, therefore, it should also be fine for them.
