Auditory hallucinations are the most commonly experienced perceptual alteration noted in schizophrenia. Illusions are less common. The other symptoms are not altered perceptions.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
