Hi michelle80 - In doing some quick research, every article I found on conversion disorder mentioned blindness as one of the symptoms, including this one.

I found a support group for people with conversion disorder, and you may be able to find people who have dealt with blindness through this website: http://www.experienceproject.com/groups/Have-Conversion-Disorder/90580
This site provides a forum in which you can pose questions to doctors who specialize in conversion disorder: http://www.medhelp.org/HealthTopics/Conversion_Disorder.html
Mayo Clinic provides information on treatment which you may find helpful: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/conversion-disorder/DS00877/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs
I hope this information helps. Let us know if you have additional questions. Pat
