      ab: Conversion disorder is a mental disorder that manifests as altered sensory or motor function in the absence of a corresponding medical diagnosis.

It is important for optometrists to have an understanding of conversion disorder in order to reach a diagnosis and to initiate appropriate management promptly, while also excluding the possibility of other neurological or ocular disease.
