Abstract
The sense of sight plays a very important role in the life of every individual, since we receive
most of the information from the environment with the help of sight. Visually impaired
children have difficulty receiving information from the world around them. Lack of visual
experience can negatively affect their development. Timely examinations and assessments
will indicate the occurrence of various neurological disorders in children, if any are present.
A very common cause of neurological disorders is perinatal brain damage. Children with
perinatal brain damage often have difficulties in visual functioning and it is therefore very
important to assess functional vision in these children. If there are any neurodevelopmental
disorders in the child, it is important to start vision rehabilitation as soon as possible, in order
to effectively influence the improvement of visual functions.
Keywords: functional vision, perinatal brain damage, early vision rehabilitation.
