Visual Snow

I was aware of my visual snow when I was eight years old because I noticed the static-like dots in my vision, and I would occasionally see blobs of green and red float through my vision (which I thought were spirits :) ). I discovered that not everyone's vision was like this when I was about 12 years old because I asked my mom, "How come humans evolved to never be able to see the world 100% clear?" She was, of course, shocked by my question and took me to the eye doctor where I was diagnosed with visual snow. It has never been an impediment for me. In fact, I would use the snow to "draw" numbers in the air so that I could do math without having to write the question down. I have not noticed that the condition has worsened in any way, and even if a cure was discovered, I probably wouldn't take it because I have already grown so accustomed to my condition.
