Understanding Cortical Visual Impairment
In CVI, the eyes may appear normal, but the brain has difficulty processing visual signals.
This condition is commonly seen in:
- Children with developmental or neurological conditions
- Individuals with a history of brain injury or oxygen deprivation
- Patients with certain neurological disorders
Signs That May Indicate CVI
CVI can present differently in each individual. Some common signs include:
- Difficulty recognising faces or objects
- Inconsistent visual response
- Preference for looking at lights or moving objects
- Difficulty with crowded or complex visual environments
- Delayed visual attention
- Better vision in familiar settings

This includes:
- Functional vision assessment
- Evaluation of visual behaviour and response
- Assessment of eye health to rule out other causes
