| Description |
The association of visual loss with beriberi, known for centuries, focused attention on vitamin B1 deficiency as a cause of nutritional optic neuropathy. This vitamin has received more attention in this regard than any other nutrient and, despite contrary evidence summarized in the following paragraphs, many authorities still consider thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency an important factor in the causation of nutritional deficiency optic neuropathy. |
