I've been experiencing this since having a retinal artery occlusion (aka eye stroke) about a year ago. At times it can be exhausting, and I am frequently flinching away from things that aren't there. I wonder if CBS is the visual equivalent of Phantom Limb Syndrome.

This condition CBS should be known to treating Physician , Ophthalmologist , Neurologist and Psychiatrists as well. There is possibility of labelling this patient as the Crazy or Schizophrenic. Can be disastrous for the patient if not handled properly.
