Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) – one of the leading causes of childhood visual impairment 🌈
CVI describes a visual processing difference.
The eyes may be healthy, but the brain can find it harder to make sense of what is seen.
Children with CVI-type visual difficulties may:
• Miss details or objects in clutter
• Experience visual fatigue or reduced attention
• Find reading, copying, or busy classrooms overwhelming
• Perform better when visual information is clearer, simpler, and well structured
💡 Key point: Vision is more than eyesight — it’s about how visual information is processed and used in everyday life.
👁️ At Eyes In Motion, we assess how a child is using their vision functionally, looking beyond the eye chart to understand how vision may be supporting or limiting learning, behaviour, and daily activities.
Where appropriate, we provide individualised visual strategies, environmental recommendations, and optometric input, and work alongside other professionals as part of a wider support pathway.
📩 If you’re concerned about how your child is using their vision, a specialist assessment can help guide next steps.
