"No-one told me I may end up seeing things that aren't really there."

"How can that butterfly be so vivid when I can't even see my daughter's face?"

"I'm legally blind so why am I seeing animals in stunning detail?"

"I didn’t know what was happening to me. Was this the start of dementia?"

"This weird figure appears almost daily but I know it is not real."

Seeking help from the community for CBS study

 
Australians sought for CBS study

 

Peter Allen, a researcher from the UK, is seeking Australians living with CBS to complete a 10 minute online survey (link below) to aid research into understanding whether physical exercise and sleep patterns can make a difference to the expression of Charles Bonnet syndrome. We hope you (or a loved one on your behalf) can assist with this much needed study. 

Professor Allen states: "If we find a relationship, we will be conducting further work to try and help people with Charles Bonnet syndrome reduce the visions they experience."

We encourage you to assist Professor Allen and his team by clicking on the link below:
