If left untreated, it can cause night blindness and even blindness due to corneal damage. Symptoms include dryness and wrinkling of the conjunctiva, night blindness, Bitot's spots, corneal ulcers, and softening of the cornea. Treatment involves vitamin A therapy and dietary changes to include vitamin A-rich foods.
