In response to the lime sulfur dip can possibly irritate the eyes on my cat but not cause complete sudden blindness. My cat had multiple dips done to get rid of a skin condition. What if it accidentally got in his eyes?

It can irritate the eyes, but when done by a professional this risk is usually avoided rather well. If it did happen to get in the eye, then it would irritate the outside of the eye and conjunctiva (pink part around the eye), but would not normally cause any significant damage. It definitely would not lead to deterioration of any part of the eye later on. I hope that helps to answer your question and all is well with Sampson.
