Description
John D. Rogers, Harlan R. Sayles, and Richard H. Legge survey, in a 2026 study, how well children's doctors spot a brain-based form of vision loss. Cerebral visual impairment, where the brain rather than the eyes mishandles sight, is the leading cause of childhood visual impairment in rich countries. It is still widely missed. A 60-question survey went to all 396 pediatricians in Nebraska, and 89 answers were analyzed.
Respondents reported low training and awareness about the condition, and children at risk often went unscreened during visits. Interest in more education ran high among the same doctors. Willingness to use a screening tool fell as the tool's length grew, with two minutes as the comfort limit. Most would try a screening app on a phone. The authors argue for brief, practical tools matched to how clinics actually work.
