When parents hear the words “Your child has Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI),” it can be overwhelming and confusing. At Sight First Vision Therapy, we specialize in helping families understand this condition and provide customized support to help children with CVI reach their fullest visual potential — starting as early as 2 months of age.
🌟 What is Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)?
CVI is a type of visual impairment that occurs due to damage or abnormality in the brain’s visual processing areas — not the eyes themselves. In other words, a child with CVI may have healthy eyes, but the brain struggles to interpret what the eyes are seeing.
CVI is now recognized as one of the leading causes of visual impairment in children, especially among those with neurological conditions like cerebral palsy, hypoxic injuries, or brain malformations. Children with CVI often:
- Appear to “look through” people or objects
- Have trouble recognizing faces or objects
- Prefer looking at lights or movement
- Have variable visual attention throughout the day
👶 Early Intervention: Our Specialized Support from 2 Months Onward
At Sight First Vision Therapy, we firmly believe early intervention is the key. Our team begins working with babies as young as 2 months old to initiate visual stimulation and encourage the development of early visual milestones.
Our CVI-focused vision therapy programs are based on the latest research and are completely individualized to your child’s unique visual needs, behaviors, and developmental stage. The earlier we begin, the more likely we are to strengthen the brain’s visual pathways and promote long-term improvement in visual function.
🧠 How Vision Therapy Helps Children with CVI
Unlike traditional glasses or surgery, vision therapy for CVI is neurologically driven. Here’s how we help:
✅ Structured Visual Stimulation
We use custom-designed activities and high-contrast visuals to stimulate specific areas of visual attention and processing in the brain.
✅ Gradual Goal Progression
We guide your child to achieve critical visual milestones, such as:
- Fixation and tracking
- Visual attention
- Object recognition
- Visual-motor coordination
✅ Multisensory Integration
Our sessions often include auditory and tactile cues to support brain-based visual learning and help children associate meaning with what they see.
