10 Causes Of CBS

Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS), named for the Swiss philosopher and naturalist who characterized the syndrome, causes repeated visual hallucinations in elderly persons. Sufferers normally have later-life vision loss, but others outside of this category may suffer from the syndrome as well. The types of images one may see are varied. You may see vivacious, ethereal images or ordinary images of people, houses and other objects that recur in daily life.Hallucinations of Charles Bonnet Syndrome should not be confused with delusions. According to Lighthouse Guild, CBS-afflicted persons normally know what they are seeing is not reality. In contrast, people with delusions earnestly believe their visions are what is actually there. Another indicator of CBS is hallucinations that are exclusively visual.CBS is thought to cause hallucinations due to the natural accommodation of the body to compensate for vision loss. When eye diseases impact the eyes or damage occurs to the optic pathway, retinal cells cease to receive sensory input to send to the brain and generate an image.Always seek medical attention if you begin to suffer from gastroparesis, excessive vomitting or nausea. Other causes to consult with your physician include excessive acid reflux, vomitting undigested food and weight loss.Diabetics especially should pay attention to changes in blood sugar levels. Abdominal bloating is not normally a cause for concern, but extended periods may necessitate medical attention.

1. Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration impacts more people than both cataracts and glaucoma. 10 million Americans suffer vision loss as a result of the incurable disease. The condition occurs when the center of the retina, the macula, begins to deteriorate. Your retina is responsible for transmitting visual images to the brain. The macular deterioration understandably causes vision loss because the macula typically functions to:
  • Helps you read
  • Drive Automobiles
  • Facial/Color Recognition
  • See the Fine Details
Initial stages of macular degeneration do not impact sight. As the condition progresses, you will begin to have blurred, wavy vision. Degeneration of the macula eventually leads to legal blindness. Sufferers can still see with the help of their peripheral vision but not their central vision. Individuals 55 and older are most likely to suffer from macular degeneration.LIfestyle habits such as smoking can increase your risk for macular degeneration. Genetic factors similarly contribute to your risk. You have a higher chance of developing the condition as a Caucasian or if have a family history of the condition.Since the condition is currently incurable, you should get eye exams regularly. Protect your eyes from UV light and refrain from smoking to lessen your possibilities of developing macular degeneration.Next
