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

This also happens in extreme sleep deprivation. Your brain basically let’s some of the neural pathways from your eyes “sleep” even though you’re still awake, particularly in the peripheral vision as they’re deemed “less important” at that moment, so your brain fills in the gaps which causes hallucinations (the classic shadow people, for example)
