A term used to describe an apparent lack of visual functioning, in spite of anatomically and structurally intact eyes. The cause is assumed to be a lack of cortical functioning (i.e., the visual cortex of the brain is non-functionalj. Children with "cortical blindness" do not exhibit nystagmus, however. (Nystagmus may be the way the nervous system responds to bad vision, since it occurs simultaneously with many visual impairments.) Neither a CAT scan nor a VEP can confirm cortical function.

Cortical blindness is the total or partial loss of vision in a normal-appearing eye caused by damage to the visual area in the brain's occipital cortex.
