Are there any functional disorders/diseases of the macula which aren’t obvious on the OCT,FFA or Perimetry?

i dont understand the question. by definition, functional disorders implies non-organic- that the patient is manifesting malingering/hysteria, so of course the exam is normal.
if you meant true disease of the macula that cannot be detected by all those diagnostic tests– maybe dr. wong can help, but i cant think of any. some diseases may look completely normal on fa, oct, but perimetry will be abnl.
