    Abstract:
    PURPOSE/METHODS: To report the occurrence of complex visual hallucinations in a 69-year-old female with bilateral age-related macular degeneration and unilateral cataract. Her orientation and cognition were normal and she showed no evidence of psychiatric symptoms. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: A case of a patient who presented with visual symptoms characteristic of the Charles Bonnet syndrome is reported. Various conditions associated with visual hallucinations must be kept in mind by the ophthalmologist (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol 2003; 78: 327-330).
