CVI is the leading cause of childhood blindness and low vision
Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is a brain-based visual impairment caused by damage to the visual pathways or visual processing areas of the brain.
CVI is alarmingly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. Less than 20% of children with CVI have been diagnosed, according to new research conducted by Perkins School for the Blind with analysis from McKinsey & Company.
Every individual with CVI, no matter their zip code or how their CVI manifests, has a right to early diagnosis, comprehensive, effective vision services, and accessible educational programs.
