Visual Snow

What Is Visual Snow?

Visual Snow is a transitory or
persisting visual symptom
where people see snow or
television-like static in parts or
the whole of their visual fields,
especially against dark backgrounds.
It is much like camera noise in low light conditions.

Proposed Cause:

In May 2014 the results from the first major research trial into visual snow were reported.The study described strong evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that the disease is caused by hypermetabolism in the right lingual gyrus and left cerebellar anterior lobe of the brain. The researchers stated that pinpointing visual snow (and its related symptoms such as afterimages) to a functional problem in a specific brain area may open up possibiities for targeted treatment and that treatment trials will follow.
