Visual cerebral perception disorders (CVI)

The first part of the lecture will explain to medical laypeople and interested professionals what tasks an ophthalmologist performs when diagnosing a visual perception disorder. It will show which examinations the ophthalmologist performs and on what basis when a visual perception disorder is suspected.
The second part of the lecture will examine the topic from an orthoptic perspective. It will outline which orthoptic examinations are necessary and useful when CVI is suspected. No prior knowledge is required.
