Its venom is dominated by three-finger toxins, which make up about 90% of the venom proteins. This is the highest three-finger toxin level recorded in any snake venom. The venom also contains snake venom metalloproteinases and phospholipases A2, which damage tissue. If venom gets in the eyes, it causes extreme pain and mechanical damage to the eyeball, and can cause permanent blindness if not properly flushed out.1
