DOI: 10.5935/0034-7280.20180050

With the increase of longevity and the quality of life, the number of people with low vision due to senility tends to grow up. Charles Bonnet’s syndrome (SCB) was cited in the XVIII century by Bonnet, when his grandfather blinded by cataracts and psychologically healthy cites visions of men, women, birds, and buildings. The main risk factor is low vision. Several ocular diseases may be involved as cataract or use of some medications. Although known, it is poorly diagnosed by neurologists, ophthalmologists and psychiatrists. To date there is no consensus on the treatment of Charles Bonnet’s syndrome.
