👁️ Charles Bonnet Syndrome: Visual Hallucinations Explained 👁️ Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a condition that affects people with decreased vision and various eye diseases, causing them to experience visual hallucinations. These hallucinations can range from simple patterns to complex images like people, animals, flowers, and buildings. Symptoms of CBS: Visual Hallucinations: These occur while the person is awake and can include detailed images such as people, animals, or intricate patterns. Awareness: Most individuals with CBS are aware that these images are not real. Emotional Impact: Hallucinations can be enjoyable, annoying, or disturbing, but they are generally not frightening. Who is Affected? Prevalence: CBS is more common in individuals over 80 but can occur at any age. Associated Conditions: Often seen in people with macular degeneration, glaucoma, or after a stroke. While the exact cause is unknown, CBS is believed to result from deafferentation—where a loss of signals from the eye to the brain leads to spontaneous nerve activity perceived as hallucinations. There is no definitive treatment for CBS, but many patients find their symptoms improve over time. Strategies that may help include: Blinking or Closing Eyes: Can help reduce hallucinations. Improved Lighting: Better lighting can decrease the frequency of hallucinations. Social Interaction: Engaging with others can be beneficial. 📅 Schedule a Consultation: If you or a loved one is experi
