Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) Deficiency and Corneal Vascularization

Direct Connection: Yes, a deficiency in vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is classically associated with corneal vascularization (the abnormal growth of blood vessels into the cornea).
Clinical Manifestation: The eyes are among the tissues most sensitive to riboflavin deficiency. Ocular symptoms often begin with:
Photophobia (sensitivity to light)
Burning and itching of the eyes
Lacrimation (excessive tearing)
Vision blurring and fatigue
Pathology: As the deficiency progresses, superficial blood vessels from the limbic plexus begin to invade the transparent cornea (corneal vascularization), accompanied by epithelial keratitis.
Nutritional Context: Riboflavin is crucial for cellular respiration, antioxidant protection (via glutathione reductase), and maintaining the integrity of mucosal and epithelial tissues, including the eye structures.
