Which are the symptoms of Visual Snow?

Static and eye floaters.

Light sensibility - tinnitus - Reading - pattern -

Vibration/shaking of objects, makes the world not seem like its there

After images and night blindness

It varies from person to person, but most commonly it would be described as many static, or snow-like dots in the field of vision.

-constant afterimaging (especially negative afterimaging)
-aura migraines
-light sensitivity
-photophobia
-tinnitus

Light sensitivity - when it's very bright outside and I walk out after being in a darker room, I get blinded by the light to the point that it hurts my head

Static in your vision. When looking at white backgrounds or screens, the snow or static is much more prevalent. My visual snow gave me really Palinopsia or afterimages and trailers. On old TVs, if they were left on one screen for too long, it would burn into the screen and be visible forever. This is what afterimages is like, except it is a temporary afterimage. It's not a direct copy, but generally an outline of the object you were looking at. For example, if you were looking at a screen, the afterimage would look like a black box with a white outline. If it is a light color, it has a dark afterimage, and vice versa. I also developed a number of eye floaters, or these black spec or streaks in my vision that float around the vicinity of my vision. Other things that I had developed was photophobia (light sensitivity) and blue field entopic phenomenon (blue trails bouncing around my vision). The blue field entopic phenomenon is very evident when looking at the sky on a sunny day. Nonetheless, not everyone experiences all of these symptoms, and some might have all of it. Visual snow is a complicated disease that is still going through some much needed studies.

The most prominent symptom of Visual Snow for me is a constant static that always is overlaid in my visual field. The best way to describe the static is by comparing it to static on the tv that is overlaid onto my vision. This static is seen even when I close my eyes.

It is really hard to see at night due to white dots all over the place.

- Tinnitus
- Loads of floaters
- Afterimages
- Lots of pixels like you're a tv or something

You're basically one of those old tv thingies they used to have in the sixties?

Exaggerated stress reactions

There are a couple kinds of visual snow but I can only speak to mine. Since I was young, I've seen dots ..infinitesimally small dots. Some collect light and some are dark. The light collectors work when there's light but don't always release that light at night. Sometimes at night with my eyes closed, these light collectors shine softly still. Then a wash of dark covers over the light repeatedly until the light shines no more. I used to watch this process and wonder if I wasn't seeing the visual purple of the rods working. Some people report seeing these dots move around, but to me, they move with my eye, not independently by themselves. I've always had better than 20/20 (corrected) vision. They don't interfere with what I see. Normally. As I age, I've become more aware of them and in that, they may be beginning to "interfere ". I also have tinnitus. Had it forever, too. The doctor said I had to learn to ignore it which I mostly have. I generally ignore the visual snow, until I don't!

Photophobia, trails, pixelation,

My symptoms include.
Snow
Floaters
See exessive moving object on white walls
Afterimage of bright light

Symptoms vary on an individual basis but tend to always include the presence of small, innumerable, dots in your vision. This occurs when eyes are open or closed. These can vary in size, shape and colour. Most sufferers seem to see black and white dots.
Other visual symptoms include ‘after images’, light sensitivity, flickering, light auras and floaters.
Non visual symptoms and severity also vary but include tinnitus, confusion and insomnia.

-Tiny, snow-like dots across the visual field
-Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
-Continuing to see an image after it is no longer in the field of vision (palinopsia)
-Difficulty seeing at night (nyctalopia)
-Seeing images from within the eye itself (entoptic phenomena)
-Tinnitus

For a diagnosis of Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) you must have experienced the following:-

1. At least 3 of the below symptoms for over 3 months.

Floaters, the small shapes you may see in your visual field
Photopsia, the starbursts or flashes of light that may suggest a health issue
Nyctalopia, or impaired night vision
Kaleidoscope vision, the color swirls often seen with migraines
Palinopsia, or seeing something that isn't there anymore
Photophobia, a heightened or unusual light sensitivity
Non-Visual Symptoms
With visual snow syndrome, there may be other symptoms besides what you see. Symptoms that aren't visual include:

Migraines, a disabling headache often linked to visual migraine aura symptoms
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears
Vertigo, a sense of spinning or dizziness, or balance loss
Fatigue, an unusual exhaustion often related to another health issue
Tremors, an uncontrollable motion in your body, often the hands
Anxiety, a mild to severe response to stress
Depression, a mood disorder associated with feelings of sadness and fatigue


2. No history of hallucinogenic drug use (LSD / Magic Mushrooms etc).



3. No physiological degeneration of your eye. An Optician or Ophthalmologist should be able to check this for you.
