Sacks wrote a fascinating book on Hallucinations called....'Hallucinations'. One might also consider 'Charles Bonnet Syndrome' as a cause for hallucination in those going blind. For instance, in patients with Glaucoma, there have been instances where seniors in nursing homes have thought to be suffering from dementia when in fact they had Charles Bonnet Syndrome.
The types of hallucinatory experiences vary with simple geometric patterns all the way to seeing forms such as people.
The disorder is named after a Swiss naturalist who noticed the disorder in his grandfather after suffering from cataracts in both eyes.
For more example of hallucinations see: Oliver Sacks and his brilliant book 'Hallucinations'.
