Abstract
Cortical visual impairment (CVI)is the most common cause of bilateral visual impairment in children in the developed world. In less-affluent countries, the incidence is increasing because the survival rate of premature babies is improving. As a consequence, the mortality of children with complex medical problems has begun to decline. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is also a major cause of visual handicap: its rate is increasing, and it may become the commonest cause of visual impairment in children. A risk factor for CVI is prematurity, which is also a risk for ROP. Thus, these two disease processes often coexist.
