This book examines Charles Bonnet Syndrome and other visual hallucinations beyond the basic neuroscience concepts by providing the reader with a prevailing clinically applicable overview. It is a practical guide for those clinicians assessing patients who present with visual hallucinations and require additional evaluation to make a diagnosis and helps the clinician to formulate a clear management approach. In addition, there is a useful narrative section with multiple case analyses that assists clinicians, current patients, and their caregivers to understand how others have personally dealt with these problems and which treatment modality has worked best for them.

Key Features:

• Discusses medical, surgical, optical and psychological treatment plans.
• Appeals to practising neuro-ophthalmologists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, low vision specialists, neurologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational/physical therapists and rehabilitation counsellors.
• Uses multiple clinical cases and scenarios as illustrative examples.
• Uses current technology to illustrate visual hallucinations as seen by patients.
• Can be used as a teaching tool for the patient and their caregiver.
