    1 is wrong. "The eyes or the skin (is, are) often adversely are affect by a lack of Vitamin A." That is the correct way to put it.

    eyes and skin as well as the tomatoes, Brussel sprouts..etc…are the subjects, so it should be ARE
    Using NEITHER and NOR, the verb must agree to the nEARESt subject which is the dyes
    Family is considered a cOLLECTIVE noun.
