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

At-home hallucinations are so muh worse for sure. I think maybe because they are invading my personal safe space, and that's what makes it worse. I have this one hallucination of a older creepy woman that is peeking through my windows. She was at my psychiatrist's office that had a window too but I couldn't look directly at her, just in my peripherals. Felt safer there for no damn reason.

I have some crazy good luck as my hallucinations aren't evil. Just creepy-ish looking. My schizophrenia gave me what I call Ghost Cat, too! It's always just outta view, going around corners or trying to trip me up in a darker room or hallway, lol. The only bad part is that I have a black cat irl, too. So sometimes when Ghost Cat is fully visible at night, in my pitch black room, I reach out to pet, what I assume, is my actual cat but it disappears..

Sorry to rant!

Edit: Spelling. My bad.

I have never experienced psychosis before (to my knowledge) but I definitely experience Ghost Cat!! I’ve never heard anyone else talk about this

Fucking shadow cats! The majority of my everyday non-freaky hallucinations are that. They're so irritating.
