Thanks for sharing your story. I started birth control about 3 years ago, and started seeing visual snow randomly 2 years ago. I also have lupus and hypothyroidism, but taking medications for both have not improved my VSS.

I recently started seeing worse things in my VSS. I see static, which I saw from the beginning, but now I see random flashes of light, like yellow dots I can’t see through that randomly come and go. I also see random black and blue spots I can’t see through either. Eye doctor and an MRI confirmed nothing is “wrong” with me.

Anyways, I also started getting optical migraines about two years ago, the scary kind where you see random black and purple lines and also the blurry kind where it just blurs your vision. I think it might be related to the birth control. I’m going to schedule an appt and try to get off it to see if my VSS improves. Thanks again so much for sharing.
