This overuse of antibiotics has a number of downsides which include types of drugs that kill more of the "good" bacteria found in our bodies leading to more side effects.

Explain how the disorder strabismus affects vision
Andreyy89
Strabismus may cause reduced vision, or amblyopia, in the misaligned eye. The brain will pay attention to the image of the straight eye and ignore the image of the crossed eye. If the same eye is consistently ignored during early childhood, this misaligned eye may fail to develop good vision, or may even lose vision.
