Vision Disorders - Other Causes
eye optic visual inability
Many people, especially males, experience color blindness, varying degrees of which range from inability to differentiate between red and green to total inability to see one or more colors. Damage to any area in the visual pathway—including the optic nerve, optic tract, optic chiasm, optic radiations, or visual cortex—will cause vision deficits or loss. Although not vision disorders themselves, diseases, disorders, and damage of the eye lid, eye, and bony orbit (eye socket) may—if severe and left untreated—result in reduced, impaired, or lost vision.
