Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)

Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is a condition where vision problems arise due to issues in the brain, rather than in the eyes themselves. It occurs when the areas of the brain responsible for processing visual information are damaged or not functioning properly, which can result from factors like brain injury, development issues, or neurological disorders. People with CVI may have difficulty recognizing objects, judging distances, or seeing clearly, despite having normal eye health. Treatment often focuses on enhancing visual skills and adapting environments to support better visual experiences.
