History

The disease was first noted by the Swiss naturalist Charles Bonnet, who described the condition in 1760. He documented it in his 89-year-old grandfather[1] who was nearly blind from cataracts in both eyes but perceived men, women, birds, carriages, buildings, tapestries, physically impossible circumstances and scaffolding patterns.[2][3]In 1967, French-Swiss neurologist, Georges de Morsier, coined the term Charles Bonnet Syndrome in Bonnet's honor.[4]
