Vitamin A treatment improves blurred vision
Case of persistent corneal epithelial damage after cataract surgery leading to diagnosis of vitamin A deficiency.
Significant relevance to vision treatments
We investigated a case of persistent blurred vision following cataract surgery, leading to the discovery of vitamin A deficiency in a 74-year-old man. Using advanced tests like full-field electroretinograms and optical coherence tomography, we noted significant retinal changes and low vitamin A levels.

After administering vitamin A supplements for three months, we saw remarkable improvement in his vision and retinal health. This highlights the importance of diagnosing vitamin A deficiency, especially in patients showing persistent vision problems post-surgery.

Case study on vitamin A recovery
Corneal perforation due to vitamin A deficiency in a patient with short bowel syndrome.
Significant case on vision health
We examined a case involving a 55-year-old woman who experienced blurred vision due to a severe corneal condition linked to vitamin A deficiency.

After her previous bowel surgery, she suffered from malabsorption which led to this deficiency.

Despite initial treatments, her condition worsened until vitamin A deficiency was diagnosed.

Following intramuscular vitamin A treatment, she notably recovered her vision and overall health.

Vitamin A improves retinal function
Retinal structure in vitamin A deficiency as explored with multimodal imaging.
Significant structural imaging study
Our exploration focused on how vitamin A deficiency relates to blurred vision in a 63-year-old patient suffering from nyctalopia and severe rod dysfunction. Using various imaging techniques, we found that this individual's retinal abnormalities primarily affected the photoreceptor layer.

Notably, even after receiving vitamin A supplementation, his symptoms showed significant improvement, although the retinal lesions did not change. This suggests that while vitamin A treatment can help restore visual function, it may not reverse existing retinal damage related to deficiency.

Significant vision improvement
Excellent! My vision improved noticeably. After drinking this vitamin for a month, I began to see much better. I used to squint but one day I realised I was no longer doing so, and the dryness in my hands and eyes disappeared. I definitely recommend it.

Vision significantly improved
Improved vision. After one month of taking this vitamin, my sight improved remarkably. I noticed that I wasn’t squinting anymore, and the dryness in my hands and eyes vanished. The capsules are small, odourless and tasteless. The brand’s quality is top-notch! I highly recommend it!

Vitamin A necessity
Excellent vitamin A. I took it as prescribed by my ophthalmologist. I experienced eye dryness, blurred vision, and a decline in sight due to a vitamin A deficiency. After completing the course, my vision improved and the dryness vanished. It's shocking how a deficiency can even lead to blindness!

Vitamin A is more effective
[Effects of different eye protection methods during head and neck surgery under general anesthesia].
High relevance to ocular surgery safety.
We evaluated the effectiveness of vitamin A eye gel as a protective measure for patients during head and neck surgery under general anesthesia. Our study involved 120 patients who were randomly assigned either vitamin A eye gel or erythromycin eye ointment, both paired with 3M transparent tape for eye protection.

Upon examining the outcomes, we found that vitamin A offered significant advantages, specifically in reducing corneal staining and discomfort symptoms like blurred vision compared to erythromycin. Thus, vitamin A appears to be a superior choice for preventing ocular complications during surgery.

VApal shows efficacy for blurred vision
Efficacy and safety of retinol palmitate ophthalmic solution in the treatment of dry eye: a Japanese Phase II clinical trial.
Strong relevance for dry eye treatment.
We explored the effectiveness of retinol palmitate (VApal) ophthalmic solution for treating dry eye in a clinical trial involving 66 patients. Participants were split into two groups; one received VApal, while the other received a placebo.

Over four weeks, we tracked various measures, including improvements in blurred vision. Notably, the VApal group saw significant improvement in blurred vision and other subjective symptoms compared to the placebo.

The study confirmed that VApal is both safe and effective for dry eye treatment, presenting a viable option for those suffering from this condition.

Vision clarity restored
My vision improved after a month of taking this vitamin. I had to squint before, but one day I suddenly realised I no longer needed to. The dryness in my hands and eyes has also gone. I definitely recommend it.

Clearer vision experienced
Half a year has passed since I took one tablet nightly. When I feel discomfort, if I take 2 tablets, it alleviates the issue. I haven't needed cold medicine recently. It has excellent effects such as reduced eyestrain, clearer vision, and improved whiteness of my eyes. Despite price increases, I plan to continue taking them. With one tablet daily, my vision became clearer and redness disappeared. Surprisingly, my makeup improved within days of starting these.
