Functional vision loss refers to a decrease in vision that cannot be explained by a structural or physiological abnormality in the eye or visual pathways. 

It is often associated with psychological or neurological conditions rather than an organic eye disease. Functional vision loss can be divided into two main types:

1. Psychogenic Vision Loss – Vision impairment caused by psychological factors, such as stress, trauma, or conversion disorder. The patient may genuinely believe they have lost vision, but there is no detectable structural cause.
2. Malingering – Intentional exaggeration or fabrication of vision loss, often for personal gain, such as financial compensation or avoiding responsibilities.

Symptoms

• Blurred vision or blindness without a clear medical cause
• Inconsistencies in visual testing results
• Normal eye exam despite reported vision impairment
• Tunnel vision or other atypical visual field defects

Diagnosis

• Visual Acuity Testing – Inconsistencies in performance
• Optokinetic Nystagmus (OKN) Test – Normal reflexes suggest functional loss
• Stereoacuity Testing – Can reveal preserved depth perception
• Electroretinography (ERG) or Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) – Objective tests showing normal function despite reported loss

Treatment

• Reassurance – Many cases resolve with proper explanation and reassurance
• Psychological Support – Therapy for underlying anxiety, depression, or trauma
• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Effective for conversion disorder-related vision loss
• Multidisciplinary Approach – Involving ophthalmologists, neurologists, and mental health professionals and ayurveda.
