Dr Amit Patel Raising Awareness About Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS)
Listen now
Description
Each year on 16 November it is Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) Awareness Day highlighting how CBS affects many blind and partially sighted people with the experience of seeing visual hallucinations which can range from simple patterns to vivid scenes, such as faces, animals or landscapes. RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by RNIB ambassador Dr Amit Patel to find out more about Charles Bonnet Syndrome, how he first realised he was experiencing CBS and how he copes with the condition on a day-to-day basis.  There is a wide range of information and advice about Charles Bonnet Syndrome on the following pages of the RNIB website and you can always call the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 if you would like to chat with someone about anything related to sight loss. https://www.rnib.org.uk/your-eyes/charles-bonnet-syndrome-awareness-day/ (Image shows RNIB logo.
