September Is CVI Awareness Month

What Is Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)? Cortical visual impairment (CVI) is a type of vision impairment that originates from the brain rather than the eye. CVI presents when the brain's visual centers suffer damage, injury, or have structural abnormalities.

CVI vision therapy involves a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to enhance Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) in children, using strategies like vision stimulation, reducing visual clutter, using high-contrast objects, and incorporating sensory feedback. The goal isn't a cure but to improve visual function through therapies like occupational and educational interventions, with strong family involvement and adaptation of the environment to support the child's visual development and overall well-being.

Amblyopia is very treatable if it's diagnosed early. Children with amblyopia who start treatment early in life are much more likely to have improved vision and fewer long-term effects. Your eye care specialist will suggest treatments that improve your child's sight as much as possible.

Untreated Keratitis

Untreated keratitis can lead to serious, sight-threatening complications including corneal ulcers, severe scarring, and permanent vision loss or blindness. It can also result in a corneal perforation (a hole in the cornea), which is a medical emergency, and in rare cases, can cause a severe eye infection known as endophthalmitis. Early and appropriate treatment is crucial to prevent these severe consequences and preserve vision.

Pupil Anomalies

Explore how certain conditions can change the shape, number, or position of the pupil.

👁️✨⚡ Iridodialysis
A tear at the iris root, often caused by trauma.
May result in glare, double vision, or aesthetic asymmetry.

🎯 Corectopia
The pupil is displaced from its central position.
Can be congenital or acquired (due to trauma, surgery, or disease).

🕸️ Persistent Pupillary Membrane
Remnants of embryonic tissue that failed to fully regress.
Usually harmless, but can affect vision if dense.

👁️👁️ True Polycoria
Two or more functional pupils in the same eye.
Extremely rare and can affect how light enters the eye.

🔗 Posterior Synechiae
The pupil becomes stuck to the lens due to intraocular inflammation (like uveitis).
Can lead to pupillary block and increased eye pressure.

🌓 Iris Coloboma
A congenital defect where part of the iris is missing—often shaped like a keyhole.
Can occur alone or as part of a syndrome.

HYPERTENSIVE UVEITIS is a form of anterior uveitis characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) during or after episodes of intraocular inflammation. It is important because it can lead to secondary glaucoma and vision loss if not managed promptly.

✅ Key Features
★Definition Uveitis associated with raised IOP (intraocular pressure)
★Common Forms Usually anterior uveitis
★Onset Often acute, unilateral, recurrent
★IOP Elevation May occur during active inflammation or after steroid therapy
★Symptoms Pain, redness, photophobia, blurred vision, halos
★Slit Lamp Findings Keratic precipitates (KP), anterior chamber cells/flare, possibly posterior synechiae
★Fundus Usually normal unless posterior involvement

📌 Common Causes
★Herpetic Uveitis (HSV, VZV)
★Posner-Schlossman Syndrome (Glaucomatocyclitic Crisis)
★Fuchs’ Heterochromic Iridocyclitis
★Toxoplasmosis (posterior uveitis with secondary IOP elevation)
★Steroid-induced ocular hypertension

🧪 Investigations
★Tonometry – Measure IOP
★Slit-lamp exam
★Gonioscopy – to assess angle structures
★Lab tests – if systemic cause is suspected (e.g., viral PCR, HLA typing)

💊 Treatment
★Control Inflammation Topical corticosteroids (e.g., prednisolone acetate 1%)
★Control IOP
Topical anti-glaucoma meds (e.g., beta-blockers, CAIs)
Avoid prostaglandin analogs in active uveitis
★Cycloplegics Atropine/cyclopentolate to relieve ciliary spasm
★Treat Underlying Cause e.g., antiviral if HSV/VZV

⚠️ Complications
★Secondary glaucoma
★Cataract
★Posterior synechiae
★Chronic uveitis
