Causes of Eye Disorders

The eye is an amazingly complex organ that brings the outside world to life. It has several major components: the cornea, pupil, lens, iris, retina and sclera that help to capture images and transmit them directly to the brain through optic nerve.

According to a list compiled by healthline.com (which you can read by clicking here) there are 56 causes of eye disorders. Here are some of them:

·      Nearsightedness (myopia)

·      Farsightedness

·      Astigmatism

·      Allergic conjunctivitis
