You can always get back on the loop once you can see again.
An interesting thought and one we may forget easily. When I learned to fly, my instructor told me that three most useless things to me were: fuel in the bowser on the ground, height above me and runway behind me :-) Available and accessible gas in cylinders when you've stopped breathing is probably even less use than those!
Cheers,
