Episode 32 – Understanding Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)

In this episode of Eyecare Experts, Dr. Troy Bell, Dr. Gene Terrezza, and Dr. Maggie Martin dive into Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), a not-so-rare condition that affects the way the brain processes vision in neural pathways. Together, the panel discusses how CVI differs from typical vision issues and why it can be challenging to diagnose, especially in young patients.

Our experts explain common causes and highlight symptoms to look out for, emphasizing the importance of early eye exams to detect conditions like amblyopia or CVI before vision loss becomes permanent. They also outline the role of neurologists, occupational therapists, and low vision specialists in managing complex cases.
