Symptoms Of Visual Snow

New diseases and new syndromes are constantly being discovered in the world. Thus, a syndrome was recently discovered that represents a chronic condition for 2% to 3% of people in the world, namely visual snow vision syndrome.

Scientists have not yet determined why this syndrome occurs. For now, it is thought to be related to the part of the brain that processes images. People who have this syndrome often have problems with migraines and anxiety. In people with this syndrome, the “snow” they see can be colorful, it can be transparent, and it can be black and white.

Symptoms of visual snow can be different. Some people are hypersensitive to light, some have night vision problems, they can see snow everywhere they look both when their eyes are open and when they are closed and many others. People who have this syndrome often have difficulty sleeping, have ringing or buzzing in the ears, have a feeling of irritability and depression, often feel dizzy, have a feeling that they are not connected to themselves. Scientists’ assumptions are that this syndrome occurs because certain parts of the brain are hyperactive. That’s why there is still no specific way to treat this syndrome, but mostly drugs are suggested for the treatment of mental health.
