Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common in developing countries, but also occur in developed countries. We review micronutrient deficiencies for the major vitamins A, cobalamin (B(12)), biotin (vitamin H), vitamins C and E, as well as the minerals iron, and zinc, in the developed world, in terms of their relationship to systemic health and any resulting ocular disease and/or visual dysfunction. A knowledge of these effects is important as individuals with consequent poor ocular health and reduced visual function may present for ophthalmic care.
维生素和矿物质缺乏在发展中国家很常见，但在发达国家也有发生。我们综述了发达国家中主要维生素A、钴胺素（维生素B12）、生物素（维生素H）、维生素C和E以及矿物质铁和锌的微量营养素缺乏情况，涉及它们与全身健康的关系以及由此导致的任何眼部疾病和/或视觉功能障碍。了解这些影响很重要，因为眼部健康不佳和视觉功能下降的个体可能会寻求眼科护理。
