1. Given the fact that with nearly one third of children with visual impairments have CVI (Cortical Visual Impairment); and with nearly two-thirds of children @ global-scale and one-third of children in India with cerebral palsy (with neurologic disorders) have defects indicative of CVI, do you still positively think that the recovery of vision for kids stand a greater chance than for an adult with a significant neurological maturity?

If the recovery remains to be fast, then, whether, the infant would gain only basic visual functions and respond to high-contrast visual stimuli; or, at the maximum, the infant would partially try to respond with ocular movements?

2. Why does a physician generally fail to investigate/explain completely, the reason behind the loss of functional vision in an infant – from an eye examination?

Is it because - Cerebral Visual Impairment no more pertains to a single diagnosis and since, it requires the infant’s own unique clinical picture that requires to be identified and individually profiled?

3. How is it possible for an infant to have a CVI, albeit having a normal brain imaging by the infant? In other words, how could the brain imaging studies still appear to be normal for an infant with a history of neurological dysfunction?

4. If CVI remains to be a brain dysfunction rather than an ocular dysfunction, whether how easy would it remain to correlate/establish a relation between infant’s functional vision development and the infant’s neurological evolution?
