Current events, Fussy Diet causes blindness

A diet of hot chips, Coke and nothing else nearly blinded Australian, Cian Moore.

His mum, Kerry Moore, had tried ophthalmologists and pediatricians trying to figure out why her sons blindness kept growing and growing. But nobody had an answer!

Than Cian's parents saw Sydney ophthalmologist Stephanie Watson attempting to find out what was causing his blindness, turns out he had vitamin A deficiency.

When Cian was young he had fussy eating habits and all he ate was chicken, potatoes, dried bread and coke, this was obviously very unhealthy, unhealthy enough that he started going blind!

Cian is 16 now and is eating lots of vitamin A and his left eye is basically perfect now but his right eye is permanently blind.
