View submission: do people with schizophrenia who also need glasses see their hallucinations clear or blurry when not wearing glasses?

well that's an easy way to differentiate what's real and what's not, just take off your glasses

Schizophrenics just use this one simple trick! Psychiatrists are livid!

The most effective reality checking tool for me has been using the camera on my phone to check if I am having visual hallucinations. If I believe that I am having a visual hallucination, I open my phone camera and look at the screen, if the person I’m seeing doesn’t appear on the screen, I know that they are not really there
