Does CO poisoning cause blindness if you survive it?

Carbon monoxide poisoning may result in both neurological and neuropsychological problems which includes visual problems. While CO poisoning can result in blindness, it’s not a 100% guarantee. The brain and eyes are at (the most) risk of permanent damage when exposed to large amounts of carbon monoxide due to the large requirements of oxygen they need to function.

It's rare, but possible.

Nearly all forms of poisoning will cause blindness as the optic nerves are among the most sensitive in the body.

Alcohol (Ethanol) poisoning does not cause blindness.

Actually even illegal drug poisoning does not cause blindness. I knew people that used. They still see.

Why don't you tell us what CO is, then we can answer. Cocaine overdose?

@sage2021 You never had any chemistry lesson? CO means Carbon Monoxide.
