Prognosis | Face Blindness

Prognosis

Face blindness cannot be cured, but it remains stable for a lifetime and usually does not worsen. By means of individual compensation strategies, most of those affected therefore have a completely normal life and are hardly restricted by their disorder. Only in the rarest cases is prosopagnosia diagnosed at all.

Only patients who have acquired face blindness as a result of an accident or illness and who suddenly cannot recognize close relatives and loved ones have real problems with it. These people find it much more difficult to learn compensation strategies afterwards and their quality of life can be severely impaired as a result. Fortunately, these cases are very rare.
