Introduction: Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a condition characterised by the presence of visual hallucinations, mainly complex, in patients with significant vision loss and without cognitive impairment. The rise in CBS cases is due to an increased life expectancy and to the development of age-related pathologies such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Patients And Methods: We herein analyse the main characteristics present in 45 patients diagnosed with CBS at the Neuro-ophthalmology Unit in Hospital Clinico San Carlos.
Purpose: Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is a condition characterized by development of visual hallucinations in patients with no cognitive impairment and significant loss of vision mainly caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or glaucoma.
Methods: This was a study of prevalence and characteristics of CBS diagnosed at the Neuroophthalmic Unit within the Ophthalmology Department of Hospital Clínico San Carlos (HCSC), Madrid, Spain.
Results: The CBS prevalence in patients from HCSC Madrid is 0.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of improper foveal location on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements by using the new FoDi software in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Spectralis SDOCT).
Methods: Cross-sectional study with 126 subjects: 66 healthy, 30 early, and 30 moderate glaucomatous eyes. Fast RNFL scans were performed by using the new FoDi technology.
Background: The purpose of this report is to present a case of optic and vestibulocochlear neuropathy as a manifestation of concurrent HIV and syphilis coinfection. This is an interventional case report of a 37-year-old man who complained of blurry central vision in his left eye and hearing loss in his left ear over the past 2 weeks.
Findings: Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes, and the anterior segment was normal in both eyes without relative afferent pupillary defect.
Purpose: Charles Bonnet syndrome plus is an exceedingly rare variant of this disorder. The variant has been described in patients with sight impairment and severe hypoacusis, and is usually characterized by complex visual and auditory--musical--hallucinations that the patients recognize as unreal.
Method: Case report.
