A member asked:
Will repeated exposure to chlorine gas affect my eyesight? please help me docs!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Most exposure to this chemical occurs in swimming pools which always emit a little chlorine. The effect is to irritate and redden the eyes but will not cause permanent change. So lifeguards, who do this daily will not have an effect on eyesight. If you get a serious high exposure from for instance an industrial source, your lungs will more likely suffer than your eyes.
