- Abstract
The article discusses about micropsia and macropsia. Transient visual symptoms such as diplopia, blurred vision and blindness are among the more common neurophthalmologic symptoms encountered in a general pediatric population. Distortions of visual perception of size, micropsia or macropsia, are infrequently noted but may present as an unusual symptom complex in young children with vivid imaginations. Alterations of the visual perception of objects presents an intriguing symptom complex. This may consist of a distortion of shape and colors (metamorphosa), or an apparent increase (macropsia), or decrease (micropsia) in size without distortion of shape or color. Rarely an object may look more distant (teleopsia) than in reality.
