Visual Hallucinations

One of the most fascinating and mysterious aspects of how brains work is the Charles Bonnet Syndrome, or CBS, which is named after the Swiss physician who first researched it in 1760. Visual hallucinations, also known as phantom visions, are a relatively uncommon disorder that only affects a small number of people who have lost their vision as a result of specific eye diseases such cataract, glaucoma, or diabetes.

Even while it may seem unbelievable, it is precisely what it sounds like: blind people who have lost their vision experience visual hallucinations. Additionally, it goes beyond simple hallucinations. Patients with CBS have described seeing intricate, unique images of a variety of objects, including deformed faces, hazy individuals dressed in exotic, vivid attire, and marching miniature soldiers. People still don't know what causes it, despite the fact that it's unquestionably one of the most fascinating - and crippling - ways the brain can malfunction. Apart from the fact that everyone who has the condition lost their vision at some time in their life rather than being born blind, there doesn't appear to be any other commonality among those who have it.
