Building CVI awareness and understanding

Become a CVI Now Collaborator

Together, we can be more creative, generate bold and inclusive ideas, and solve more complex problems, all to help increase CVI awareness, knowledge, research, diagnosis, practice, and services.

Our mission

Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is the leading cause of blindness and low vision—yet it remains largely undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood. CVI Now and the CVI Center at Perkins is urgently confronting CVI through education, innovation, and collaboration.

We equip the community with resources, tools, and support so that people with CVI are empowered to meaningfully access their world and define their success. Our approach is whole-person-focused and informed by research, data, and the lived experiences of individuals with CVI and their families/caregivers.

We value relationship-building and collaboration across stakeholder groups to help grow and advance the CVI field and broaden our community.
We are a convener and believe in the power of collaboration, diverse thinking, and connection.
Together, we can better confront CVI and improve outcomes for all individuals with CVI.
