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

I'm not schizophrenic but I'm bipolar and in my worse manias I've had severe delusions and seen things that are not there. I also cannot see crap close up without 🤓 glasses. Didn't stop me from thinking I wasn't seeing something very clearly without my glasses right in front of my face. Your brain always sees things very clearly. Or mine does anyway.

Bipolar II here. I’ve never experienced psychosis or hallucinations but when I am hypomanic I feel like my vision is much clearer and wearing my glasses feels wrong.
