Hysteria, on time of Sigmund Freud (Victorian Era) was a term coined for what today is called 'anxiety'. The fear or apprehension on what may happen next. Bill became blind without proper reason, in today's case, this is called Conversion Disorder. To treat, Bill must treat the source of anxiety first thru series of therapies.
