Xerophthalmia refers to the ocular manifestations associated with vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency can be caused by numerous disorders, including alcohol-induced malnutrition. The ocular manifestations of xerophthalmia include conjunctival and corneal xerosis (drying), keratomalacia (corneal necrosis/ulceration), nyctalopia (night blindness), and Bitot’s spots (conjunctival lesions).
