Not Really: Cvi is short for cortical visual impairment caused by a brain problem and not an eye problem. Common cause of cvi is lack of oxygen delivery to brain cells in the back part of your brain or lack of blood supply to the same area (occipital lobe). Wear protective gears and reduce amount of exposure.
