Ocular Manifestations Of Avitaminosis

Abstract

Summary Until recently, vitamin deficiency was considered a phenomenon observed in animals fed experimental diets, or a syndrome prevalent only in countries where choice of foods was extremely limited. At present, however, it is recognised that vitamin deficiencies are widespread in occurrence and that subclinical deficiencies which warrant specific dietary therapy with proper foods are still more prevalent. We have tried to show how these vitamin deficiencies affect the human eye and vision.
