London, UK – September 28, 2026 – Vision Science Academy successfully hosted the September edition of The Vision Science Talks, featuring Rupali Singh, Consultant Optometrist specialising in Paediatric Binocular Vision, Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI), and Neurorehabilitation at Save Sight Centre, New Delhi, India. The lecture, titled “Psychophysical Assessment of Visual Function in Cerebral Visual Impairment,” was held on Sunday, 27 September 2026, at 10:30 AM BST (3:00 PM IST).
Event Overview
The session explored the assessment of visual function in children with Cerebral Visual Impairment, with emphasis on the value of looking beyond conventional measures of ocular vision. The discussion highlighted the importance of understanding how visual information is processed, interpreted, and used in functional contexts, particularly in children with complex neurodevelopmental needs.
Participants were introduced to the broader clinical relevance of psychophysical assessment and the need for individualised approaches when evaluating children with CVI. The session also underscored the value of interdisciplinary collaboration across optometry, ophthalmology, vision therapy, neurorehabilitation, psychology, and related areas.
Key Takeaways
- Functional vision assessment can provide perspectives beyond conventional measures of visual acuity and ocular health.
- CVI requires consideration of visual processing and functional performance alongside clinical findings.
- Assessment should be individualised to the child’s visual, neurological, developmental, and functional profile.
- Interdisciplinary collaboration is important in the assessment and rehabilitation of children with complex visual needs.
Kristi Sharma, Senior Manager, Advanced Education and Partnerships, Vision Science Academy, and host of the event, expressed her gratitude by saying,
“It was a privilege to host this edition of The Vision Science Talks and welcome Rupali Singh for an insightful discussion on psychophysical assessment in CVI. The session reinforced the importance of looking beyond conventional measures of vision and understanding how visual function affects everyday life. At Vision Science Academy, we remain committed to creating meaningful platforms where clinical expertise, scientific knowledge, and interdisciplinary learning come together, and I sincerely thank Rupali and all participants for contributing to this valuable exchange.”
