Hello list.
I know this is off-topic but please bear with me.
Although I have been totally blind for six years now, I still suffer
from Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS).
I use the word 'suffer' but these things do not in any way distress or
worry me. In fact I find the thing fascinating.
It is visual hallucinations experienced by people with sight-loss.
This morning, for instance, I woke up surrounded by a room tiled with
small white tiles bearing a pattern of concentric circles. Well I
didn't, but that was I 'saw' until I sat up and moved around.
I would be very interested in hearing other people's experiences of CBS
and was considering setting up an email list to talk about it.
Anybody else interested?
Here is a link to the RNIB page about CBS:
