Abstract: We report a case of an 84-year-old female who presented following a fall from standing height. There was immediate loss of vision in the right eye. On day 3 of admission, the patient described seeing hallucinations in the right eye. She described seeing children playing in the garden while sitting in the hospital bed. She was found to have an indirect traumatic optic neuropathy with an associated Charles Bonnet syndrome. The patient underwent conservative management and on 2 weeks follow-up her right eye vision improved to hand motions. To our knowledge, there is no reported case of this kind in the literature.
