‘This will make you go blind’: What shopkeeper told girl about 'vodka' that damaged her sight
When Lauren Platts bought a cheap bottle of vodka from an off-licence, the shopkeeper warned her: ‘This stuff will make you blind.’

She dismissed it as a joke but the next morning she woke up with blurred vision plus a terrible migraine and sickness.

Miss Platts, 21, fears the £5.99 bottle of industrial alcohol masquerading as vodka may have permanently damaged her sight.She says that more than two months later she still has blurred sight and regularly loses her peripheral vision.
