10 Symptoms of Conversion Disorder
Symptom #7: Vision Problems
The eye is often used to demonstrate how evolution works. Initially, the first eye would have been little more than a light-sensitive patch that told the brain the difference between light and dark. As it became more complex, though, it was able to tell the brain more and more about the world around us.
As the eye detects the light coming in, the retina then converts information about the light into information that is then sent to the brain. If these messages being sent to the brain are not flowing as they should, then the patient can begin to have difficulty seeing what is around them.
Patients with conversion disorder may experience acute vision loss. If the symptoms appear shortly after an emotional trigger, and no other cause can be associated after a full medical analysis, it might be a case of conversion disorder.
