2009
Overview
Corneal scarring and phthisis bulbi due to vitamin A deficiency, measles, and infection were the commonest causes of blindness in the early 1990s in much of Asia and Africa [6]-[8]. [...]corneal blindness was listed as the primary cause of blindness in children for planning for childhood blindness [8]. [...]as reported in annual UNICEF State of the World's Children reports, vitamin A-supplementation coverage has increased and blindness due to vitamin A deficiency has been virtually eliminated in many developing countries.
