Living with Charles Bonnet Syndrome

Fight for Sight Trustee Dr Amit Patel talks about what it's like to live with Charles Bonnet Syndrome, a common side-effect of sight loss in which people experience visual hallucinations.

Fight for Sight, together with partners Blind Veterans UK, Esme's Umbrella and Health and Care Research Wales, is funding two research projects at Cardiff University and University of Oxford to investigate the cause of the visual hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet Syndrome, with the hope of eventually finding a cure.
