Functional Visual Loss

Functional Visual Loss (FVL) is a condition where an individual experiences vision problems that cannot be explained by any identifiable physical or neurological damage to the eyes or brain. Instead, these issues often arise from psychological factors or stress. People with FVL may report blurred vision, blind spots, or other visual disturbances, but medical tests show no underlying medical cause. Understanding and addressing the emotional and psychological aspects is key to managing this condition and helping individuals regain their normal vision.
