Charles Bonnet Syndrome Posted: 2 years ago by deepchill
Stewart has Charles Bonnet syndrome, a condition that often affects people with macular degeneration or diabetic eye disease.

When visual cells in the brain stop getting information — which happens when your rods and cones stop working — the cells compensate, he explains. If there's no data coming in, they make up images. They hallucinate.
