A teenager in the United Kingdom is now blind due to living on a diet of French fries, Pringles and white bread.

According to BBC News, the 17-years-old was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency three years ago and put on supplements but did not stick with the treatment or improved diet.

After recently visiting an eye specialist, it was determined the optic nerve was damaged and was legally blind, 20/200 vision.

The teen was reportedly of normal weight and seriously malnourished.
