Functional Visual Symptoms: Detailed Recovery and Treatment Review
Each entry in the original symptom list has one page, in the same order. There are no additional numbered techniques or supplementary pages in this expansion. The last two entries discuss uncertain specialist options; inclusion is not a recommendation or proof of efficacy. These are selectable approaches, not a nine-step programme.

The history audit records the baseline and mapping. Safety, flare response and continuing access are covered in the overview and within each detailed page.
The main literature addresses functional visual loss. It must not be applied automatically to double vision, eye-movement disorders, visual snow or all photophobia. Treatment evidence remains limited. Symptoms, disability, needed protection and access supports are real whether or not visual practice helps.
