Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Visual hallucination occurs due to psychological or neurological problem. If MRI is normal that mean chances of underline psychological issue are more. It could be due to vision problem like in cataract. In all these cases treatment include antipsychotic drugs. Rest depend upon the cause.
