  The symptoms of hepatitis include low fever, low appetite,nausea, extreme tiredness,vomiting, pain in the liver,a dark colored urine, pain in muscles, itching and jaundice. How hepatitis affect your vision? When lesions occurs in a man's liver, the vitamin A stored in the liver decrease obviously. Meanwhile, the ill liver secretes less bile, making it harder for the liver to absorb fat sobluble vitamin like vitamin A. As a result, a lack of vitamin A worsens. The vision of a person is produced by two sensory cells in cornea. There exists a kind of substance sensing weak light called "rhodopsin". It is combination of protein and vitamin A. When there is a lack of vitamin A, less rhodosin can be produced. Thus, the person's eyesight will be affected. If the hepatitis patient watch TV too much, his eyes overwork and abuse too much rhodopsin. It results in a worse vision. If this situation last long, the patient may develop dry eyes sydrome and night blindness.
