birth, due to malnutrition during fetal development brought on by a malnourished
mother.

occasionally decreased hearing.
OTITIS MEDIA - is a group of inflammatory diseases of the middle ear.
BLURRED VISION- refers to eye movement control and eye coordination.

on the retina.[1] This results in distorted or blurred vision at all distances.
MYOPIA - Near-sightedness, also known as short-sightedness and myopia, is a
condition of the eye where light focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina.
HYPEROPIA- Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness and hyperopia, is a
condition of the eye in which light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina.
XEROPHTHALMIA- is a medical condition in which the eye fails to produce tears. It may
be caused by vitamin A deficiency, which is sometimes used to describe that condition,
although there may be other causes.
STRABISMUS- also called crossed eyes is a condition in which the eyes do not properly
align with each other when looking at an object.
SUNBURN - is a form of radiation burn that affects living tissue, such as skin, that results
from an overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun.
CORNS - an in growing callus often on the foot BLISTERS- is a small pocket of body
fluid (lymph, serum, plasma, blood, or pus) within the upper layers of the skin, typically
caused by forceful rubbing (friction), burning, freezing, chemical exposure or infection.

SCOLIOSIS - is a medical condition in which a person's spine has a sideways curve.
LORDOSIS - refers to the normal inward lordotic curvature of the lumbar and cervical
regions of the human spine
