Vision Ireland Acknowledges Charles Bonnet Syndrome Awareness Day 2025

Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) Awareness Day took place on Saturday 16th November.

To extensively raise awareness of the condition, Vision Ireland facilitated an online viewing of Aspectum on Wed 13th November. This is a short film about living with the vivid, silent, visual hallucinations that are caused when Charles Bonnet Syndrome develops after sight loss.

We were joined by one of Aspectum’s filmmakers, James Edward Kilpatrick, alongside Nina Chesworth from Visionary UK. Over 100 attendees logged in to participate.

A link to the full event, including the documentary itself can be found here.

The standalone documentary (with Audio Description and Automatic Captions available) can be located here.
