Abstract. Purpose:To report a case who showed somatoform disorder with ill-defined ocular complaints and who responded to psychomedical ophthalmologic approach. Case and Findings:A 37-year-old female presented with multiple symptoms including photophobia,photopsia,difficulty in opening the eyes,vertico and headache. She had been examined by multiple medical institutions and had been found to be free of organic disorders. As there was a high possibility of psychiatric disorder,she was counseled to accept psychiatric referral. She was then diagnosed with undifferentiated somatoform disorder. Systemic treatment with benzodiazepine tranquilizer resulted in alleviation of symptoms 2 months later. Conclusion:Somatoform disorder may be present in patients with ill-defined ophthalmic symptoms. Psychomedical ophthalmologic approach promises to be effective for such cases.
