Hallucination

I am a wet amd right eye, a dry amd left eye. Eyelea injections for wet. Surveillance for dry.

Hallucinations are a side effect of wet amd.

I have snow bird neighbors. One across the street left for Florida a month ago. Yesterday I saw her on her front porch. She is gone! No way was it her. Spooky, eh?

Has anyone else experienced this?
Good luck to all who suffer this disease...

  1. Hi . Many people with macular degeneration develop Charles Bonnet Syndrome, which is marked by visual hallucinations. Thankfully, they seem to disappate after about two years. Here is an article about it that might interest you: https://maculardegeneration.net/visual-hallucinations. Could this be what you are experiencing? Warmly, Lori (Team Member)

    1. Strange. It was so funny -- when I first saw her I was happy to see her but a bit confused. Wonder why they came back so early? I probed my brain a bit as I did slightly recall that this CB is a side effect. Yep-no big deal--just strange. Thanks Lori...
