And your retina is allergic to lack of oxygen. If this condition goes on, the optic nerve fiber will be affected. The eyes get irritated.

As we know, vitamin B12 is never an unnecessary part of nutrition that maintains the optic nerve to work normally. Both of these two aspects affect your eye irritation.
