If you don't get enough vitamin A, then you could become vitamin A-deficient (also known as Hypovitaminosis A). This can lead to night blindness (inability to see in the dark, or to recover sight quickly after being exposed to a flash of bright light in the dark) and xerophthalmia (progressive blindness that becomes irreversible if not treated in time with vitamin A). Vitamin A-deficiency can also reduce the health and integrity of skin and other epithelial tissues. The effect on skin can result in dry skin and hyperkeratosis (the development of clumps of skin around hair follicles). Sorry about the essay!
