10 Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #7: Blurred Vision
Blurred or disturbed vision is another vitamin B12 deficiency symptom. This usually results when an untreated B12 deficiency progressively damages the nervous system in various parts of the body including the optic nerve which connects the eyes to the brain. When this happens, visual signals no longer travel effectively, hence the disturbed vision. The name for this type of damage is optic neuropathy.
If you notice that your vision is deteriorating and getting blurred, there are chances that this may be a result of deficiency of vitamin B12. If you think that you don’t take adequate amounts of B12, you should consider supplementing. Note that optic neuropathy is largely reversible by supplementing with vitamin B12.
