Yep. I am experiencing eye floaters & flashes and the worst of them all visual snow.

Yes light sensitivity, floaters, visual snow at night, faces look blurry from far away, flashes of light sometimes and when i look at something i see the imprints when i look away.

Many forms of eye issues John. Anything and everything from opening my eyes first thing in the morning and see red spiders on the ceiling or black spots or bugs to floaters and most distressing to ocular migraines. The ocular migraines come with flashing, bright lights flickering on and off. It lasts between 10-15 minutes the most.

In case you are wondering, I don't drink, smoke, do drugs or even have regular coffee or soda. Anxiety is the cause of all of the eye phenomena.

So I just posted about this yesterday but no one responded. I've been living with "visual snow" for 12 years now. I just noticed it one day and it really freaked me out (I was having anxiety back then). I've kind of learned to live with it and it just became the norm and I forgot about it. Well my anxiety has been back and I happened to focus on it again this week.. Now I'm doing some research about it and it seems like there really is no cure for it or much research really. It's not harmful from what I understand so it's just something that's annoying but if you don't really pay too attention to it, it will just kind of become normal. I do remember getting an MRI done and having eye exams done 10 years ago for it but everything came back fine.

Not what you're looking for?
