Description
Summary:In our commentary, covering some 60 years, we address the relatively recent increase in the numbers of children and adults with vision conditions related to brain injury, which parallel developments occurring when our professional field began, and when large numbers of wounded veterans returned blinded from combat during World War II. How CVI in children interfaces with other conditions that have a neural basis - such as autism spectrum disorders or eye conditions that may have a brain-based component such as retinopathy of prematurity, optic nerve hypoplasia, and genetic conditions with brain-based visual consequences - must be examined.
