    Visual hallucinations in low vision patients can indicate underlying issues like trauma or illness. Inquiring about these experiences helps manage patient anxiety and can reveal under-reported conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Visual hallucinations are common in patients with low vision.
    • These hallucinations may signify underlying medical or psychological distress.

    Observation:

    • Routine inquiry into visual hallucinations is recommended for low vision patients.
    • Two case studies illustrate the process of inquiry and management.

    Findings:

    • Hallucinations in visually impaired individuals are likely under-reported.
    • Exploring hallucination parameters can improve understanding and reduce patient fear.

    Implications:

    • Effective management involves addressing patient anxiety and fear.
    • Referral to allied health professionals is crucial when indicated.
