The woman nearly blinded by her diet

A BIZARRE diet of just bananas and yogurt left a woman nearly totally blind.

The 60-year-old was admitted to hospital suffering severe vision loss in both eyes. Tests revealed she was deficient in Vitamin A, which is crucial for eye health.

According to a paper in the journal BMJ Case Reports, doctors at the Melbourne hospital found she had a ‘severely restricted diet, consisting of only bananas and yogurt’, and had contracted a fungal infection in her eye. They treated her with anti-fungal medicines, but she refused to change her diet so her vision remained impaired.
