    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Functional vision loss (FVL) presents as a visual deficit without identifiable organic or sensory pathology.
    • FVL is a diagnosis of exclusion, requiring thorough assessment to rule out other conditions.

    Observation:

    • The literature review and clinical experience highlight diverse sociopsychological etiologies contributing to FVL.
    • FVL is a non-organic condition, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its underlying causes.

    Findings:

    • Sociopsychological factors are significant contributors to functional vision loss.
    • Optimal treatment for FVL involves a multidisciplinary strategy with various healthcare providers.

    Implications:

    • Optometrists and clinicians must be aware of the sociopsychological etiologies of FVL.
    • A collaborative, multi-provider approach is crucial for effective FVL management and patient care.
