Charles Bonnet syndrome in adults with inherited retinal disease: prevalence and patient perspectives by Savita Madhusudhan, Thomas J M Weatherby, Matthew Boyle

“…Patients with visual acuity worse than 0.3 logMAR made up 76% of those reporting CBS symptoms.Of the patients who experienced visual hallucinations, 59% reported that their visual hallucinations had no effect on them, while 29% reported a negative effect, with 12% not commenting; only 12% said that they require further support.Conclusion CBS symptoms were reported by almost one in six patients in our IRD practice.Only a small proportion of patients included in this survey felt that they required additional support, but they did express that being informed early on of an explanation for their visual hallucinations was helpful.The limitations of our study are the small number of patients included in the survey, the lack of external validation of the questionnaire used, the risk of selection bias and the two different methods/phases of data collection used.…”
