CHARLES BONNET SYNDROME(CBS)--HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT? This syndrome is the experience of complex visual hallucinations in a person who suffers from partial or severe blindness, but are otherwise mentally healthy. CBS affects people with visual impairments due to old age, diabetes or damage to the optic pathways. In particular, central vision loss due to macular degeneration combined with peripheral vision loss from glaucoma may predispose the patient to CBS. There is no prescribed treatment, except to reassure the patient and help them cope. KEEP YOUR EYES HEALTHY!
