There is a lack of common practice in the approaches used by clinicians to investigate and diagnose CVI in children. At present, a 'diagnosis of exclusion' remains the most common means to diagnose CVI. Development of clinical guidelines for assessment and diagnosis are necessary to ensure consistency in the diagnosis of CVI and the timely implementation of support to alleviate the impact of CVI on the child's daily living.
