Stress-Induced Loss of Colour Vision

Total loss of colour vision which is acquired is rare and is usually organic. Standard ophthalmological textbooks do not mention psychogenic causes. One case, reported here, highlights the existence of non-organic achromatopsia (loss of colour vision) in children and the importance of maintaining links between child mental-health workers and other disciplines such as ophthalmologists to establish appropriate investigation and management.

Key Words: child psychiatry • colour vision defects • conversion disorder
