Can fillers cause blindness? In very rare cases, dermal fillers can cause blindness if the product accidentally enters a blood vessel connected to the eye. This can block the blood supply and, in severe situations, lead to permanent vision loss. The risk is extremely small, but it is real. That’s why it is essential to choose an experienced and licensed medical professional in the UAE — such as a doctor, dermatologist, or dentist with specific training in aesthetics and registered with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DOH), or the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP). A thorough understanding of facial anatomy greatly reduces the risk of complications. After your treatment, always be mindful of warning signs such as pain, skin discolouration, or changes in your vision, and contact your practitioner immediately if they occur.
