How do I know if I have Visual Snow?
What signs or symptoms may make you suspect you may have Visual Snow. People who have experience in Visual Snow offer advice of what things may make you suspicious and which doctor you should go to to receive treatment
Proposed diagnostic criteria for the "visual snow" syndrome:
Dynamic, continuous, tiny dots in the entire visual field.
At least one additional symptom:
Palinopsia (visual trailing and afterimages)
Enhanced entoptic phenomena (floaters, photopsia, blue field entoptic phenomenon, self-light of the eye)
Photophobia
Tinnitus
Impaired night vision
Symptoms are not consistent with typical migraine aura.
Symptoms are not attributed to another disorder (ophthalmological, drug abuse)

When you got all the symptons, do hear ringing in your ears? Do you see colored floating images or your tv after not looking at it for a while and does it look like you're staring out of a camera?

Static in vision with eyes open and closed. Light sensitivity, night time vision issues, palinopsia, blue ectopic phenomena

You will see dots everywhere as for me my condition is broadband and isn't annoying as you begin to get used to it. However, I can get frequent headaches and migraines because of it. I also notice a large change in my moods and correlation to other mental illnesses.
