psychogenic amblyopia

Also known as functional or non-organic vision loss, psychogenic amblyopia is a decrease in visual acuity or visual field without an identifiable organic cause. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, made after ruling out other ocular or neurological disorders. Patients may present with bilateral vision loss, tubular visual fields, or spiral visual fields. Psychogenic factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression are often associated with this condition. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach, including reassurance, psychotherapy, and addressing underlying psychological issues.
