In Charles Bonnet syndrome, a person whose vision has started to
deteriorate sees things that aren't real (hallucinations).
The hallucinations may be simple patterns, or detailed images of events,
people or places. They are only visual
and don't involve hearing things or any other sensations.
It's important to be aware that hallucinations associated with Charles
Bonnet syndrome are caused by failing eyesight. They are not caused by a mental health problem
or dementia.
People with Charles Bonnet syndrome are usually aware that the visions
aren't real, even if they're vivid.
Always see your GP if you're experiencing hallucinations so they
can investigate the cause.
