I was recently in the hospital and the psychiatrist said that he thought that atleast some of my hallucinations weren't really "hallucinations" at all but rather because of my vision and how maybe it was going where I have retinaopathy where there is damage to the retina and may possibly at some point detach and the vitreous fluid in my eye is detaching. Anyone heard of seeing things that aren't there but not it being as involved with chemicals in ur brain or ur brain itself but with ur vision?
Thanks for the input in advance. Danielle

I think you would have to check with an opthalmologist to get a reliable diagnosis about that. Eye diseases can cause you to see things but I don't know if those things would be comparable to what you see as hallucinations.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
