Description

Drs. Anita Kohli and Imran Jivraj discuss the evaluation and management of patients with functional vision loss, also known as nonorganic or nonphysiologic visual loss, a phenomenon in which exam findings do not support an underlying organic etiology. Drs. Kohli and Jivraj offer pearls for how to handle both adult and pediatric patients. Functional vision loss can be challenging to identify and manage, and it's important to diagnose correctly as multiple studies have shown that there can be an association between functional vision loss and psychosocial stressors or other psychiatric diagnoses, especially among children.  For all episodes or to claim CME credit for selected episodes, visit www.aao.org/podcasts.
