Description

In this episode of the Charles Bonnet Syndrome podcast, host Shaimond welcomes Evelyn Lewis, who shares her inspiring story of living with Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). Evelyn details her lifelong struggle with visual impairments, beginning with her congenital condition Aniridia and subsequent battles with cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and cornea transplants. Despite significant visual loss and hallucinations associated with CBS, Evelyn speaks about her proactive approach to mental health, seeking therapy, and finding comfort in her faith and community activities. She also discusses the importance of acknowledging and sharing one's experiences, seeking medical and emotional support, and staying engaged in life. Evelyn's narrative is a testament to resilience in the face of ongoing challenges.
