Abstract Purpose:Evaluation of psychogenic visual disorders is difficult by general ophthalmological examinations. Wide-range assessment of vision-related essential skills(WAVES), which was developed for evaluation of visual perception and visual cognitive function, was applied to 2 cases with psychogenic visual disorders.

Cases:One was a 10-year-old girl. Corrected visual acuity was 0.2 right and 0.1 left. The visual field showed concentric contraction. Her parents had trouble and were living separately since one month before. The other was a 9-year-old girl. Corrected visual acuity was 0.3 in either eye. Her mother had started to work as a night shift, so that she had received less attention from her mother.

Findings and Clinical Course:Both cases were diagnosed as psychogenic visual disorders after they were found free from ophthalmological or neurological abnormalities. WAVES showed normal eye and hand coordination, or ability to express visual information by hand motion, while visual perception was markedly impaired. Both cases showed normal visual acuity, visual field and WAVES one year later.

Conclusion:These cases show that impaired visual perception may be associated with psychogenic visual disorders. WAVES promises to be useful in the diagnosis of higher-order visual dysfunction which is difficult to be diagnosed by routine ophthalmological examinations.
