Abstract
THE CHALLENGING SITUATION OF ‘PATIENT SEES NOTHING AND EXAMINER TOO SEES NOTHING’ IS NOT UNCOMMON. IN SUCH CASES, IS THE PATIENT LYING OR IS THE CLINICIAN MISSING SOMETHING? THE ANSWER LIES IN A FOOL PROOF SECOND LOOK AT THE EYE AND VISUAL PATHWAYS BEFORE WE PASS THE VERDICT OF “EYES WNL/FUNCTIONAL VISUAL LOSS”. THIS INSTRUCTION COURSE OUTLINES A STRUCTURED OPHTHALMIC WORK UP IN SEEMINGLY UNEXPLAINED VISUAL LOSS WHERE THE EYES APPEAR NORMAL OR NEAR NORMAL. USING ILLUSTRATIVE CASE SCENARIOS, EACH TALK HIGHLIGHTS THE SUBTLE FINDINGS IN THE EYE WHICH ONE MIGHT HAVE EASILY MISSED DURING A CURSORY EXAMINATION. THE RELEVANT INVESTIGATIONS ARE ALSO DISCUSSED . DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN CORTICAL AND FUNCTIONAL VISUAL LOSS AND THE NEED TO PROVE FVL BEFORE BRANDING IS EMPHASISED AND EXPLAINED. THE KEYNOTE ADDRESS WILL FOCUS ON UNFORGETTABLE LESSONS BASED ON REAL LIFE SCENARIOS IN MANAGING FUNCTIONAL LOSS.
