| Description |
Functional vision loss (FVL) is characterized by complaints of visual impairment without an organic cause. To avoid missing an organic cause, patients are often referred for unnecessary and costly medical testing. The purpose of this study is to characterize the presentation and healthcare utilization of patients with FVL. A retrospective chart review was completed of 110 patients diagnosed with FVL at two neuro-ophthalmology clinics. Data were collected on demographics, clinical presentation, investigations, healthcare provider visits and treatments. |
