Permanent cortical visual impairment (CVI) causes visual impairment.  According to a study in Development Medicine & Child Neurology, children with CVI typically display these behavioral characteristics:

• Residual vision
• Inconsistent visual performance
• Better vision in familiar surroundings
• Use of touch to identify objects
• Better ability to identify colors than form
• Poor head elevation, especially in those with the most visual impairment
