Conclusion
At present the simulation may be manifested with a wide range of spectrum from conversion to malingering.
Currently, there are numerous forms of simulation. The examiner should be skilful at choosing the most appropriate
test among those which are most preferred and easy methods used in ophthalmic practice. The use of modern
diagnostic methods of examination reveal and objectively corroborates the simulation. However, the use of
different tests such as confusion or fogging in the early stages of the examination makes it feasible to save the time
