Symptoms generally include indigestion and dry eye syndrome. The aforementioned conditions can lead to loss of appetite, indigestion, and delayed growth. Children may sometimes experience tearing, itching, and photophobia, which can trigger dermatitis. The most serious consequence of these conditions is damage to the eyes. Patients mainly present with xerophthalmia and dry eye syndrome. In severe cases, corneal softening may occur, leading even to perforation.
