Vitamin A deficiency

Vitamin A deficiency occurs when the body lacks sufficient vitamin A, which plays a crucial role in vision, immune function, and growth. Common causes include inadequate dietary intake, impaired fat absorption, or liver disease.

Symptoms include night blindness, dry eyes, heightened susceptibility to infections, and in severe cases, blindness. This condition primarily affects young children, pregnant women, and individuals with absorption difficulties.

Consult your doctor if you have any of these symptoms with your vitamin A levels and get the appropriate dosage of vitamin A. Also, adopt a vitamin A-rich diet.
