In this episode, Shaimond interviews Dr. Jasleen Jolly, Associate Professor in Vision and Eye Research at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England and Director of Jolly Vision Science. Dr. Jolly discusses her extensive work and research on Charles Bonnet Syndrome. She explains the misconceptions about the syndrome, its prevalence and highlights the importance of asking patients proactively about symptoms to overcome the stigma that might prevent them from coming forward. Additionally, she touches on her motivations for founding Jolly Vision Science and the need for greater inclusion and diversity in the medical field. Dr. Jolly offers practical advice for people with CBS and healthcare professionals aiming to raise awareness and improve patient care for this often misunderstood condition.
