A1: CVI is caused by damage to the brain, often due to conditions like hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, traumatic brain injury, or infections. The brain’s ability to process visual information is affected, resulting in visual impairments. CVI is caused by brain damage, resulting from conditions such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), traumatic brain injury (TBI), or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL).
A2: CVI is typically diagnosed through a comprehensive assessment by a qualified eye care professional or neurologist. The evaluation may include visual acuity testing, visual field assessments, and observation of specific visual behaviors and responses.
Diagnosis involves comprehensive assessments by specialists, including pediatric ophthalmologists and neurologists. Visual evoked potentials (VEP) and brain imaging may be used to confirm CVI and determine the extent of visual impairment.
A3: Visual challenges can vary, but common difficulties include visual recognition, depth perception, visual attention, and tracking. Individuals with CVI may also experience difficulties with visual-spatial awareness and visual processing of complex information.
A4: While there is no cure for CVI, interventions can help optimize visual function. This may involve the use of visual aids, environmental modifications, and tailored educational strategies. Collaborating with a team of specialists, including occupational therapists and educators, can provide effective support for individuals with CVI.
