So, we noticed pretty quickly that something seemed to be wrong with Monkey's eyes. He didn't seem to see things. So we went to see an Opthamologist who confirmed that Monkey had Cortical Vision Impairment or Blindness. CVI/CVB is a condition where there is nothing wrong with the structure of the eye, but the part of the brain that processes sight is not functioning correctly. The difference between Cortical Vision Impairment and Cortical Vision Blindness is the child will overcome the impairment, but the blindness is permanent. After a few months he could see everything just fine!! So it ended up being an impairment, thank goodness!
