Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a condition where individuals with significant vision loss experience vivid visual hallucinations. This syndrome typically affects people who have lost a substantial amount of their sight due to conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy. Despite the loss of vision, the brain continues to process visual information, leading to the occurrence of these hallucinations.

The hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet syndrome can range from simple patterns or shapes to complex images of people, animals, or entire scenes. These visual experiences are usually detailed and lifelike, though they are not real. The hallucinations are purely visual; there are no associated sounds or other sensory inputs. Individuals with CBS are aware that what they are seeing is not real, which differentiates these hallucinations from those caused by psychiatric conditions.

The underlying cause of CBS is believed to be the brain’s attempt to compensate for the lack of visual input. When the eyes no longer send sufficient information to the brain due to vision loss, the visual cortex becomes hyperactive and starts generating its own images. This activity is thought to be a normal response of the brain to sensory deprivation.
