The first symptom is night blindness, which progresses to gradual and total blindness. In addition, a lack of vitamin A makes it harder to fight off infections, leading to a higher mortality rate with common infections, particularly measles. Vitamin A is common in leafy and root vegetables, and supplements are also widely available.
