Ingesting methanol voluntarily or accidentally can result in irreversible optic neuropathy or death. This report discusses two patients admitted to the Hassan II University Hospital Center in Fes after methanol intoxication. Both patients experienced gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms, including severe metabolic acidosis. Despite undergoing treatments like hemodialysis, they suffered permanent visual impairment. While methanol-induced optic neuropathy is less frequent nowadays, complete recovery without long-term effects has only been observed in cases of mild poisoning and early treatment. This study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and tailored treatment to minimize the severe consequences of methanol poisoning.
