Popis: Confronted with a claim of poor vision in the absence of any apparent pathology, the ophthalmologist must consider the possibility that the patient is malingering or hysterical. The authors define four categories of such patients, and recommend diagnostic approaches for each. Specific diagnostic tests are described, as are methods of managing patients once the diagnosis of malingering or hysteria has been made.
