Abstract

CEREBRAL VISUAL IMPAIRMENT (CVI) IS VISION LOSS AS A RESULT OF DAMAGE TO THE RETROGENICULATE PATHWAY OF THE VISUAL SYSTEM IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY OCULAR PATHOLOGY. THERE IS A NEED FOR OPHTHALMIC COMMUNITY TO BE SENSITIVE AND OFFER OPTIMAL SERVICES TO SUCH CHILDREN. THE COURSE WILL DEMONSTRATE THE CAUSES , NEWER VISION ASSESSMENT TOOLS, CVI RANGE AS A TOOL FOR PREDICTING PROGRESS , SPECIALISED REFRACTION TECHNIQUES TO ASSESS REFRACTIVE ERRORS ,ACCOMMODATION ANOMALIES AND ALSO IMPORTANT TESTS FOR FUNCTIONAL AND COGNITIVE VISION ASSESSMENT. THE COURSE WILL HELP US ALSO UNDERSTAND THE CO- RELATION OF HIGHER VISUAL DEFICITS WITH IMAGING TECHNIQUES . THE COURSE WILL SHOW VIDEOS OF THE VARIOUS EARLY INTERVENTION STRATEGIES USED AND ALSO DISCUSS INTERVENTIONS IN TERMS OF PRESCRIPTION OF GLASSES AND STRABISMUS SURGERY FOR OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT. FINALLY WHEN THE DUST SETTLES HOW DO WE GET THE CHILDREN ENROLLED INTO NORMAL SCHOOLS AND CERTIFICATIONS AND DEVICES AVAILABLE FOR LEADING A NORMAL LIFE
