About Prathyusha Potharaju

Nearly 36 million children worldwide live with a brain-based visual condition called Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI), a condition where the brain struggles to make sense of what the eyes see. As someone who has navigated the world with mild dyslexia, I’ve always been passionate about neurodiversity and inclusive innovation. Today, as the Product & Research Lead at Vision Nanny, I work on making vision therapy accessible to any child with CVI.At Vision Nanny, we’re building a SaaS platform offering digital vision therapy tailored for CVI, bringing vision therapy the children who otherwise lack access. So far, we’ve supported nearly children through our tools, with growing reach in rural areas through our community programs.Curious about CVI or how therapy is reshaping the child\'s vision? Let’s connect or drop me a DM. Always happy to talk about this :)
