Leiman emphasized that the eyes have a direct connection with the brain. , and negative changes in their condition always lead to suspect neurological disorders. In particular, tumors and brain cancer can make vision “blurred”.

Another dangerous thing that destroys the body – multiple sclerosis – can also be manifested by deterioration of vision. In the event that the optic nerve is exposed to inflammation, neuritis – this leads to vision loss.
