Walden (1990) reports signs of vitamin A deficiency in adult rabbits to include a dull whitish patch developing on the axial cornea and spreading centrifugally to the limbus where pigmentation may develop.

In the absence of treatment, [[Keratitis and Conjunctivitis – Rabbit|keratitis]] and [[Blindness – Rabbit|blindness]] may ensue.
