Hyderabad: LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) in the city launched a ‘Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment Resource Centre’ on Wednesday, November 1.
The centre will focus on rehabilitating children grappling with Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI).
While it is being supported by Columbus Global Services India, the centre offers various services, including clinical examinations and tailored vision assessments.
In addition to that, interventions like vision therapy, visual skills training, speech therapy, and counselling for children and their families will also be offered at the centre.
