Organs of vision – not an exception, however, they are very subject to negative impact of numerous factors which can lead to emergence of problems.

Causes of illness of organs of vision
In spite of the fact that – there is a lot of reasons as a result of which in the childhood it is possible to face deterioration or even loss of sight, they can be divided into three main groups:
