If so, it would be worth checking with your Doctor to see whether your absorption of Vitamin A has been impaired.
Researchers published these findings in the British Journal of Ophthalmology :
The researchers base their report on three patients with increasingly poor eyesight or night blindness, who attended a specialist eye clinic within the space of a year. None of the patients had a family or personal history of eye problems.
All three patients, who were all over the age of 65, had had extensive intestinal surgery between 20 and 35 years earlier.
The operations included intestinal bypass, surgical removal of diseased tissue as a result of inflammatory bowel disease, and gallbladder removal.
All the patients were diagnosed with vitamin A deficiency, and this was in spite of having taken vitamin supplements.
