Charles Bonnet Syndrome 

It happened to me just 4 weeks ago...I was diagnosed with MS which triggered optic neuritis...it completely took my vision...As my vision deteriorated that's when the Charles Bonnet began... I saw patterns ...and cartoon like characters...and trees blowing in the wind... it also filled in things that made sense ...for instance I knocked over an empty bottle of water and when I looked at the ground the entire floor was wet even though the bottle was completely empty...Thought I was going crazy...But as vision improved, Bonnet went away...I do believe that each person sees a manifestation of their subconscious mind...Thankfully mind were all pleasant but still troubling nevertheless...If you are currently experiencing this phenomenon dont worry...it will pass as your vision improves...

My gosh, I'm 46 and I've only just now heard of this. Bless us all for the sheer range and volume of tough things we go through 😔. It's such a big deal to have discovered the source and commonplace nature of these experiences...how many untold millions throughout history have felt shocked or scared or become isolated by lack of general understanding? Thanks so much for helping to educate us.

I'm a telephone buddy for Independent Age and I'm friends with a lovely, elderly lady who suffers from this terrible illness. The experiences she tells about her Charles Bonnet Syndrome are like something out of a horror movie! I had never heard of this condition before today and it's so sad to see such a young person going through this. I hope more research is done on how to cure this syndrome, or at least make people's lives more enjoyable and more able to cope with it.

At times when I was young and had the flu with high fever, I would see grinning scary faces in the walls and in the air. It was so frightening! Then my mom came in and turned the lights brighter and talked to me which helped.

i was also freect out when it started but now it just stays even when i close my eyes its stil ther

I had retinal surgery on the 31st of this May. I experience this syndrome for about 3 or 4 days and then they were gone. I only saw the visions with my eyes closed. it was actually surreal.

I freak out so bad i pinch my shoulders since i cant do anything to get them out

i can controle the alusanation. what i think i see but it keeps changing was diagnosed with stargarts when i was 9 and im now 29 the picture stays in the nidle of my vision just way way brighter colours.Thank you i thagt i was the only one that sees this i have been seeng what evr i think of for about15 years now

My mom has macular degeneration & would see bats, it was scary to her. Now @ almost 95 she no longer sees them, thank goodness.

I’ve got the simpler form, I see patterns of shadow that cover everything in my view, at night I keep spotting a form that looks like a person made of shadow that is sitting near me though.

My grandfather has this, and he has been complaining of seeing gnats in front of the TV and tiny little red insects in his coffee. He went through it with a spoon and insisted that his coffee be covered.

I have Charles Bonnet syndrome and I only see the Visions at night and it is exactly like described, gargoyle heads, dragons ,tigers scary faces with large teeth sometimes it's just a bunch of lines over everything like a netting. Charles Bonnet himself only lost sight in one eye and had the vision is just like me

I would see these when I wake up in the morning

I've seen some things they've seen while under the effects of drugs or sleep paralysis and sober.

My Grandad is 94 and started having these due to macular degeneration. The most upsetting thing is he feels as though people think he is going mad but he is quite sane. Is there anything anyone can pass on that has helped them in their experience of this awful syndrome?

Comming from plabable like

sensorry overload is at the flashpoint of becoming titanium dioxide sensory overload is titianium dioxide (hypoythesis)

I'm 17 and I got a visual impairment from a concussion, took me a few months to get diagnosedz but I was literally havibg psychosis OCD the whole time

UNCLE SAW PEOPLE IN PERIOD COSTUMES IN THE HOUSE, ON THE STREET - AND WHEN HE ASKED THEM TO LEAVE THEY FLY THRU THE WALL OR CEILING... SOUNDED MORE LIKE A PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE - HOW DOES ONE SEE COSTUMES THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE?

I think I have this I see people online like they are tinker bell size

That looks like a 4d creature coming In and out to pur dimension

Plabable

*I wish*

do you hear things too like with schizophrenia patients?

If you're interested in this syndrome, I highly recommend watching the TED talk by Oliver Sacks: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SgOTaXhbqPQ.html

Is there glasses for this?

I heard a story earlier the day i posted this comment were a man had a side-effect of diabetes that caused him to lose much of his vision. he though he was going insane but he eventually learned that it was Charles Bonnet syndrome and to make the visions disappear he close his eyes and slowly counted to five. one reoccurring vision was a tall female wearing snazzy clothing and a fedora that covered her eyes and nose. she wore dirty white gloves and had long thin twitching fingers. her smile was irregularly wide and stretched from ear to ear. her skin was a grayish and she had a 3rd arm sprouting from her back. this arm had three fingers on it. well at first he merely used his technique and it seemingly worked so the next day he went to a bar with his friends and saw her when returning. this time when he did the technique she appeared only a foot from his face. he decided to call his friend for comfort. they relaxed together and had some more beer/booze. they even named the visualized woman Helen. the next day he returned home at night and plopped into his bed he opened his eyes to see Helen but simply stated that he was not afraid and clicked out the lights before saying "good night, Helen." but after he described hearing a chilling female voice reply, "good night." to hear the explanation contact me at aaliyahsilver1.000@gmail.com
