Vitamin D deficiency and eye problem
Can there be problems in eyes due to Vitamin D deficiency?
My 25-hydroxy vitamin D is 11.7ng/mol.
My eyes have following problems:
Foreign body sensation, sometimes itching, irritation on splashing water in my eyes, get irritated/redness easily whenever I go out in dust/sunlight, apply any eye makeup product like kajal.
Several medicines of dryness in eyes recommended by doctors didn't work for my eyes.
Could it be related to Vitamin D deficiency?
