"Drunk Man, 44, Goes Partially Blind After Falling Asleep Face Down"
A 44-year-old man in Taiwan went permanently blind in one eye after falling asleep face-down while drunk, causing pressure on his eye that led to blood vessel rupture and fluid buildup. He was diagnosed with ischemic optic neuropathy and choroidopathy, conditions that resulted in vision loss and eye tissue swelling. Despite receiving high-dose steroids, the man remained blind in his left eye after four months. The case report was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, highlighting the severe consequences of alcohol-related eye injuries.
