Brain-related vision problems in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain injuries or abnormalities affect vision in children. It aims to better understand and diagnose cerebral visual impairment (CVI), a vision problem caused by brain issues rather than eye problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For the first part: Your baby is 8 months or older and has had a brain injury, infection, genetic syndrome, seizures, or certain brain scan findings.
- For the second part: Your child is between 1 and 5 years old and has been diagnosed with cerebral visual impairment (vision loss due to brain problems).
- Your child does not have certain eye diseases like inherited retinal disorders, cataracts, or severe optic nerve problems.
- Your child does not have autism spectrum disorder (for the second part).

This trial tests a digital program that helps babies and toddlers with vision problems. It aims to catch issues early and improve visual development.
This study tests two types of vision training for children with low vision, either in person or through telehealth. It aims to help improve how children use their remaining vision.
This pilot study looks at early vision (what babies can see and how their eyes respond) in children who have risk factors for future “cerebral visual impairment,” meaning vision problems caused by the brain. It may help doctors spot issues earlier and better understand which early visual signs matter.
This study looks for early signs of vision problems in babies who had brain injuries around the time of birth. It aims to help doctors better identify and predict these issues.
This trial studies whether a “viewing strategy” training program can improve how children with visual impairment use their vision for learning and daily tasks. It looks at whether the training helps most when kids still struggle with visual processing.
This trial is testing a questionnaire for parents to help spot signs of vision problems in children that come from how the brain processes sight, not from the eyes themselves. It aims to make early detection easier for families and doctors.
