What is the prevalence of Visual Snow?
How many people does Visual Snow affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
The prevalence of Visual Snow is not well-established, but it is considered to be a rare condition. It is estimated that Visual Snow affects a small percentage of the population, with some studies suggesting a prevalence of around 2-4%. However, due to the lack of awareness and misdiagnosis, the actual number of individuals with Visual Snow may be higher. Further research is needed to determine the exact prevalence and understand the underlying causes of this condition.
Visual Snow is a relatively rare condition characterized by the presence of persistent visual disturbances. These disturbances manifest as tiny flickering dots or static-like patterns across a person's entire visual field, similar to the noise on a television screen. While the exact cause of Visual Snow remains unknown, it is believed to be related to hyperexcitability of the visual cortex in the brain.
As for the prevalence of Visual Snow, it is considered to be a rare condition. Research on its prevalence is limited, making it challenging to provide precise figures. However, estimates suggest that Visual Snow affects approximately 1 in 100,000 individuals. It is important to note that due to the lack of awareness and misdiagnosis, the actual prevalence may be higher than reported.
Visual Snow can significantly impact a person's quality of life, causing visual discomfort, difficulty focusing, and even anxiety or depression. While there is currently no known cure for Visual Snow, various management strategies such as lifestyle modifications, medication, and cognitive-behavioral therapy can help individuals cope with the symptoms.

The onset of symptoms can be in very early life, with most people presenting symptoms for their entire lifetime. There is also a proportion of subjects who have a sudden and unpredictable onset of the disease; this occasionally, but not necessarily, follows an identifiable cause.
