    Area of Science:

    • Nutrition Science
    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Vitamin B-complex is essential for overall health.
    • Deficiencies can manifest in various clinical signs.
    • Visual acuity is crucial for children's development and learning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between vitamin B-complex deficiency and vision problems in school children.
    • To evaluate the impact of vitamin B-complex supplementation on visual acuity.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 973 school children.
    • Clinical assessment for signs of vitamin B-complex deficiency.
    • Evaluation of visual acuity and effects of vitamin supplementation.

    Main Results:

    • A significant association was found between vitamin B-complex deficiency signs and defective vision.
    • Supplementation with vitamin B-complex showed a beneficial effect on visual acuity.
    • Supplementation helped improve vision in affected children and prevent new defects.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitamin B-complex deficiency and visual defects appear to have a cause-and-effect relationship.
    • Vitamin B-complex supplementation is a viable strategy for improving children's vision.
    • Addressing nutritional deficiencies is important for maintaining ocular health in pediatric populations.
