Some other ocular changes are referred to as xerophthalmia.
In severe cases, vitamin A deficiency can lead to blindness due to xerophthalmia.
Causes include idiopathic, congenital alacrima, xerophthalmia, lacrimal gland ablation, and sensory denervation.
Xerophthalmia caused by a severe vitamin A deficiency is described by pathologic dryness of the conjunctiva and cornea.
Pirie established the " Xerophthalmia Bulletin " in 1972 and was also the editor and secretary.
One of her main concerns was deficiencies of vitamin A causing xerophthalmia and leading to blindness in the Third World.

Sj�gren clarifies that keratoconjunctivitis sicca, resulting from water deficiency, had no relation to xerophthalmia, resulting from vitamin A deficiency.
Radioiodine therapy can also induce xerophthalmia, often transiently, although in some patients late onset or persistent xerophthalmia has been observed.
