What Causes Visual Hallucinations While On Tramadol?

my father is 89, has terminal cancer with stage 3 renal failure. He has been taking tramadol twice per day for pain. Now 3 days later he is seeing quiet birds flying in the house and spiders on the floor. Could this be related to the tramadol. I do realize this is a difficult question.
