"Teacher, why can't I see anything?" exclaimed an 8-year-old boy after he lost his vision suddenly in the middle of his class. The Malaysian school boy was immediately rushed to the hospital where he was diagnosed with severe Vitamin A deficiency that affected his optic nerves.
Turned out this happened due to the second-grader's poor eating habits that left him severely malnourished. He ate nothing but chicken nuggets, sausages, and cookies ever since he was a baby, which led to an extreme deficiency of Vitamin A, a nutrient that is required to keep the optic nerves healthy.
