Cerebral visual impairment results from how the brain interprets visual input, not from the eyes themselves. The pattern described here captures the typical CVI profile: an abnormal light response shows that light and glare processing is atypical at the cortical level; avoidant social gaze reflects difficulty with processing faces and social visual information; poor visual acuity can occur even with a healthy eye because acuity depends on brain interpretation; fatigue with visual tasks happens because the brain uses more effort to make sense of visual scenes; and increased attention to color and movement indicates reliance on simpler, dynamic cues that are easier to process when higher-order visual processing is challenged. Together, these features point to a brain-based visual impairment. The other options describe eye-related problems or less typical patterns and don’t fit the CVI pattern.
