  • Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a common condition among people who have lost their sight. It causes people who have lost a lot of vision to see things that aren't really there, known as visual hallucinations. Read more on our website: rnib.in/1Ym2pl5

    I'm about 7 years late to the party here, but I want to say how lovely Bee is and how much I'm rooting for her!
    At 46 now, I look back at when my amazing grandmother was going through macular degeneration and at some point she began to comment occasionally about strange things she'd seen. Although we all knew about her vision loss and she was being treated for it, none of us were told to expect the chance of Charles Bonnet syndrome and so none of us were sure what to make of my grandmother's visions. I so wish we could have been more of a support in that area and that our doctor had known to prepare and offer support to her! What a shame. She got on with everything, but it saddens me to think that she bore this challenge essentially alone even among the company of family.
    Thank you for the work you do and for sharing Bee with us! xo

    My mother had this on top of dementia and arthritis. It hasn't been easy on me. I'd like to take her to country with the remaining of her family there but it's a challenge financially.

    I had a blind patient once that complained of soil on her body and around her and she just sat there every morning whiping this “soil” away. I hadn’t heard of CBS so I thought she was just hallucinating because of her age and dementia.
