A member asked:
The wind blew ciggarette ashes into my eyes but it didn't burn or anything. can you get blinded like this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you have no irritation, you are lucky. The worst thing that could happen is getting a superficial burn. If that happened, you would have significant pain and redness.
