​Cortical Vision Impairment

CVI Facts

  • Cortical Vision Impairment is a vision impairment that occurs due to damage within visual pathways of the brain.
  • Cortical Vision Impairment is the leading cause of vision impairments for children. Approximately 30-40% of children with vision impairments have cortical vision impairment. (source: CVI connect)
  • A child with CVI may have had an eye exam in which a doctor says their vision is not of concern regarding eye health. CVI is how well the child visually interprets what they see, not visual details.
  • Children at risk for Cortical Vision Impairment include children who are premature, seizures, hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, drug exposure, hypoxic or other neurological impairments.
  • Children with CVI may be attracted to a preferred color (red, yellow, blue, green), shiny metallic items, light gaze. Children can be slow to visually explore, look away from faces, complex toys or busy environments.
  • Children with CVI may look, look away before reaching, look out of the corner of their eye, shake head back and forth frequently, and have difficulty with isolating a finger for pointing.
  • Children with CVI can learn and meet their goals with individualized supports in their daily activities.

“Quote from a teacher or staff member or therapist about CP in general. How kids with CP are kids first, who just need a little boost to move around, communicate and laugh and play with friends.”
