- In this video meet Joan.
Joan is a Henshaws service user who shares her story and details of her sight loss journey in this episode of InSights.
InSights are intimate personal stories of sight loss from individuals sharing their greatest challenges, their greatest fears, their darkest times and how they overcame them and moved forward in their lives.
In this episode, Joan shares her experience and challenges with her sight loss. One of Joan’s passions before becoming visually impaired was painting and craft making. It had been a challenge for Joan to continue with her art until she began experiencing Charles Bonnet syndrome, an eye condition which results in visions and hallucinations. In this interview, learn more about Charles Bonnet syndrome and how Joan’s hallucinations inspired her to keep being creative!
We hope these stories will resonate and encourage others to move forward on their own sight loss journey, as well as help sighted people to understand more about what visually impaired people experience.

Hello Joan
I have suffered sight loss for many years but listening to your story brought it all back to me the fears and all the challenges we have to face and overcome. A big virtual hug to you and keep staying positive.
Joan, thank you for your most valuable information about sight loss.
I’ve been having trouble with my vision for a few months and its gradually getting worse to the extent that I have to have someone with me when I go outside. I’m just hoping the eye surgeon can help me, if not I hope I can be as positive as you are.
thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your journey Joan. Do you have a place where your Charles Bonnet pictures are available to view? I wish you many good days to come and less of the bad ones
Hi Samantha. I don't think Joan has any pictures on display, I'll contact her and if she has I'll get back to you.
