In this episode of the Charles Bonnet Syndrome podcast, host Shaimond interviews Dr. Andrew G. Lee, a neuro-ophthalmologist and the Herb and Jene Lyman Centennial Chair of Ophthalmology at Blanton Eye Institute, Houston Methodist Hospital. They discuss Charles Bonnet Syndrome, a condition involving visual hallucinations due to vision loss, and explore why it is often misunderstood and stigmatized. Dr. Lee shares insights on the importance of awareness, patient support, and available treatments while emphasizing the need for holistic approaches and ongoing research. The conversation also touches on the role of neuro-ophthalmologists and the complexities of diagnosing and managing this condition.
