The study included patients hospitalized for methanol poisoning from June 22, 2018, to June 21, 2020, with follow-up extended until June 2021. Toxico-clinical and ophthalmologic examination data were collected from patients upon hospital admission, discharge, and during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty-nine patients were assessed in this study. The majority of them (94.9%) were male, with an average age of 34 years. Patients who presented with reduced visual acuity (VA) upon admission subsequently showed abnormalities (in acuity and visual fields) during follow-up (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 13). Among the patients who displayed visual field defects on admission, bilateral optic disc atrophy was observed in follow-up (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 13). Conversely, patients who reported blurred vision, with or without photophobia upon admission, had normal results in their follow-up eye examinations. Among the 36 patients who underwent dialysis, 14 (38.9%) exhibited visual impairment during follow-up examinations. Additionally, 38 patients received sodium bicarbonate, and 14 of them (36.85%) also presented ocular abnormalities.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients who demonstrated VA deficits upon admission are more likely to experience long-term VA and visual field defects, as well as optic disc atrophy.
