Nick - I don't know about this syndrome by name (Charles Bonnet), but am familiar with "sundowner's syndrome", having "walked two old men to their graves over a decade (each) with Alzheimer's" and observing their agitation (better and/or worse) as the quality of light shifts just before/after sundown. I am also acutely aware, myself, of the experience of twilight reducing visual acuity to the point that I am irritated and mildly confused because I think I *should* be able to distinguish various things (writing, diagrams, threaded fasteners, etc.) and I am unable to.
I have known people who had slow developing cataracts who felt a profound loss of cognitive ability from the creeping loss of vision which they didn't appreciate until they had cataract surgery and the majority of the loss (vison and by correlation their sense of cognitive inhibition?) I am, for one, waiting with bated brethe to know if you are in fact suffering/recovering from something and whether you have reason to believe (up to and including testing) it to be the "evil COVID"! And again, by correlation, if there is anything anyone here can do to help (except maybe not write you long missives and expect you to read and respond?) - Steve On 12/7/20 3:35 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Do you know about Charles Barret syndrome [/Quod Googlet/}.
