Understanding Visual Hallucinations in Low Vision Patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study investigates Charles Bonnet Syndrome, which causes people with significant vision loss to see things that aren't there (visual hallucinations). Researchers want to better understand why this happens and how it affects patients' quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- You do not have major cognitive impairment or untreated psychiatric conditions
- You are able to understand and sign an informed consent form

This study looks at why some people with Lewy body diseases (like Parkinson's or dementia with Lewy bodies) see things that aren't there. It uses brain scans and tests to learn more, which might help improve future care.
This study looks at how the brain might still 'see' things even when part of your visual field is lost after a stroke. It may help doctors understand and predict your remaining visual abilities.
This study looks at how people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder see the world. By comparing their visual perception to people without these conditions, researchers hope to learn more about how the brain processes what we see.
This study looks at how your past experiences and expectations might influence visual hallucinations if you have Parkinson's disease. It involves cognitive tests and compares people with and without hallucinations, as well as healthy volunteers.
This trial compares different visual field test patterns to detect central vision loss in glaucoma patients who already show thinning of retinal cells. The goal is to find which test pattern works best for early detection.
This study tests whether vision rehabilitation exercises done at home, guided by brain imaging, can help people regain vision after a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. Participants will use brain scans to personalize their therapy.
