Darren Murray went to hospital with blurry, distorted vision
Said problem had begun 10 days earlier after he tried poppers for first time
Doctors found he had damaged a small area in the eye important for vision
Some patients' vision never recovers after using the drugs, medics warn.


He told doctors at University Hospital Galway that for 10 days, he had only been able to see out of the corners of his eyes - known as peripheral vision - but not out of the centre.
Explaining further, he revealed his eyesight had changed following a night out clubbing where he had inhaled poppers for the first time looking for a good buzz.
Poppers are legal highs which are often sold as 'room fresheners'. They trigger feelings of euphoria and sexual arousal when inhaled.

Made from alkyl nitrite chemicals, they are thought to release free radicals - harmful molecules that speed up cell damage - in this case affecting the eyes.
However despite the high use of poppers, there have been only around 30 published cases of the drugs causing vision loss and damage.


Currently, poppers are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act and are available from a range of sources.
However, the ‘Psychoactive Substances Bill’ is currently under review at the House of Commons proposes to tighten control of substances, including poppers, in Ireland and the UK.
