In a few people the eye balls do not develop and in some others the nerve fails, but far more common is an infection or disease while the baby is in the womb, most often German measles hit by the mother. A baby born to a mother with syphylis and certainl other diseases can have the vision destroyed because of picking up stuff going through the birth canal - which is why all babies have their eyes treated within minutes after birth. Also, although much less common than before, in the process of saving younger and younger premature babies, some of the treatments destroyed vision. My wife is one of about 8,000 babies born prematurely in the years around 1950 whose optic nerves were destroyed when they were given high oxygen atmopheres in the incubators along with UV for vitamin deficiencies. Only as time passed [hey, babies don't focus well anyway] was it discovered that the eyes had to be protected with opaque shields to prevent the blindness.

Mostly it's stuff that happens in pregnancy from environmental issues to dietary deficiencies to drug usage.
