title: The eye--part 2.
abstract: Although it is remarkabel how well the sturdy eye is protected against hostile forces, it is still vulnerable. It is precisely because of the specialized nature and complex origin of the eye's structure that it is so vulnerable to a variety of allergic manifestations. Allergy has come to be accepted as a major etiology factor in ocular pathology.
