1. You lost your spectacles and eventually go underwater.
2. You pass out from loss of sanity.
I don't know which version you played, but in the version I played there was no going underwater, and as soon as you entered darkness your sanity started to drain significantly; it wasn't long before you had to find a light source or you would start getting blurred vision. You certainly couldn't look at a monster for half an hour; looking directly at a monster almost immediately caused a massive lost of sanity, and your vision blurred and your movement slowed straight away.
