A recent study by Sankara Eye Hospital has revealed vitamin D3 deficiency in children, possibly contributing to progressive Myopia. The study conducted over a period of last 6 months between January and July 2022, examined children in the age group of 8 to 14 years (31 boys and 20 girls) and found that serum vitamin D 3 levels were deficient (<20 ng/ml) in 38 children.
Only 13 children were noted to have normal levels of above 30 ng/ml.
