This is an interesting condition as neither a CAT scan nor a VEP can confirm the condition. Treatment is usually effective for cortical blindness and a series of vision stimulation activities can be performed to increase the field of vision.

Children are more likely to recover from the symptoms than adults, some theorize that this is because the fibers of the optic tract may be important for the visual recovery. It has been known for adults to recover too.
