Is xerothphalmia contagious

Answer 1

Xerophthalmia is not contagious; it is a medical condition resulting from a deficiency of vitamin A, leading to dryness of the conjunctiva and cornea of the eye. It is primarily associated with malnutrition and can be exacerbated by certain health conditions. While xerophthalmia itself cannot be spread from person to person, the underlying causes, such as Infectious Diseases leading to malnutrition, can be contagious.
