The importance of multivitamin supplementation all vegans need to know

With no evidence of an infectious cause for this severe loss of vision, the researchers took blood samples to check for vitamin deficiencies. They found that his levels of B1, B12, A, C, D, E, zinc, and selenium were all measurably below normal.

This is an incredibly important piece of research that has valuable illustrative insights for all those that choose to be vegetarian. First of all, it is necessary to understand that the patient who developed the blindness was a strict vegetarian (vegan) for 13 years before he developed the problem. If he had eaten some animal protein, such as eggs, it is highly unlikely the problem would have occurred.
I wonder if the above is the only case ?

I must also stress that eyesight problem/blindness is also related to VIt A deficiciency.

Take care Erin
