Hello and welcome to HCM,
Having visual hallucinations does not indicate that you have Schizophrenia.
However, if the hallucinations are consistent, I suggest you to consult a physician.
These symptoms can occur in metabolic conditions also.
Certain investigations especially the metabolic profile is required to assess the condition.
If clinical assessment and investigations are within normal range, then you may have to consult a psychiatrist.
Thanks and take care
