Bitot's spots

Medical condition

Bitot's spots are the buildup of keratin located superficially in the conjunctiva of human's eyes. They can be oval, triangular or irregular in shape. The spots are a sign of vitamin A deficiency and associated with drying of the cornea. In 1863, the French physician Pierre Bitot (1822–1888) first described these spots. The spots may abate under replacement therapy. In ancient Egypt, this was treated with animal liver, which is where vitamin A is stored.
