Demonstrating how to use a high powered hand magnifier
Today’s video is showing how to use a high power hand magnifier with low vision.

Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a condition that some people get when they lose some or all of their vision. It causes them to have hallucinations (seeing things that aren’t really there)
There isn’t a treatment for Charles Bonnet but reassurance that is is a normal part of sight loss is a comfort and confiding in family or friends may be of help.
