Pediatric Glaucoma & Cataract Family Association links
I reverted your addition of link to the organisation's homepage on the Sturge-Weber syndrome page - not immediately apparent has any direct relevance. If I am wrong, could you link to the organisations's specific page on this topic (e.g. as you did for Glaucoma valve).

I am not sure that linking to the homepage on the other articles is appropriate. See WP:External links for guidelines. Generally we wish our articles to be Featured article quality and so generally better to "add content rather than external links". An external link is inappropriate if it gives less or just the same amount of information as here at wikipedia (remember however "good" the charity is, Wikipedia Is Not a directory listings service). External links are of course appropriate where the external site gives greater amount of detail than would be appropriate within a general encyclopaedia.

Perhaps linking to the organisation's specific pages on the specific conditions might be better, e.g. in the Glaucoma article, rather than to the homepage http://www.pgcfa.org instead use  Facts about Pediatric Glaucoma  which would appears as Facts about Pediatric Glaucoma ?
