10 Copper Deficiency Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Vision Loss
Vision is very important in our day-to-day activities. But it can suffer due to low levels of copper in the body. As mentioned elsewhere, copper plays an important part in maintaining good health of the nervous system, besides the rest of the body.
While you may not be aware, your eyes depend on the nervous system so you can discern what you are looking at. It follows that inadequate intake of copper can lead to vision loss. Some surgeries may also lead to the loss of vision. This happens when the surgery makes it difficult for the body to absorb copper from the food you eat. The culprit surgeries include gastric bypass surgery.
