Charles Bonnet syndrome is a disease of vision which may be mistakenly identified as manifestations of psychosis and consequently be treated by psychiatrists and mental health nurses rather than ophthalmologists. This literature review considers current understanding of the syndrome, its treatment and the role of mental health nurses. The two main findings of the review are that despite a long recognition of the syndrome, diagnostic criteria are not established and that there is no recognized evidence-based medical treatment. As well as this, two novel treatments which may offer future benefits are discussed. Current best practice is identified as identifying the condition and providing reassurance and education, a role that mental health nurses that are aware of Charles Bonnet syndrome can fulfil perhaps better than any other discipline.
查尔斯·邦纳综合征是一种视觉疾病，可能会被误认为是精神病的表现，从而由精神科医生和精神科护士而不是眼科医生进行治疗。本文献综述考虑了对该综合征的当前理解、其治疗方法以及精神科护士的作用。该综述的两个主要发现是，尽管该综合征已被认识很长时间，但尚未建立诊断标准，也没有公认的基于证据的医学治疗方法。除此之外，还讨论了两种可能具有未来益处的新型治疗方法。目前的最佳实践是确定病情并提供安慰和教育，而意识到查尔斯·邦纳综合征的精神科护士可能比任何其他学科都能更好地发挥这一作用。
