Non-organic visual loss

S Beatty 1
PMCID: PMC1741186  PMID: 10715758

Abstract

Visual complaints without a physical basis are not uncommon presentations to the general physician, the neurologist, or the ophthalmologist. These alleged visual disturbances may be psychogenic or feigned. The diagnosis is made when all possible contributory pathology of the visual system is excluded, and reassurance remains the cornerstone of management.


Keywords: blindness; electroretinography; evoked potentials; psychogenic illness
