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 do have a condition that causes random hypoglycemia (not diabetes). This, in turn, can cause hallucinations if my blood sugar drops low enough. I've had them my entire life.

The best way I can describe the clarity is that there's exactly as clear as my brain interprets them to be. "Blurry" and "clear" are pretty much non-applicable concepts, since it's my brain that's seeing them, not my eyes. I liken it to when you daydream; is it blurry or clear? Neither, it's what your brain says it is.

I'll note that I'm fully aware my hallucinations aren't there or real, unlike schizophrenia. I'm not sure if that has any influence on their clarity
