“There’s diagnostic criteria for Visual Snow Syndrome. The first one is they had that visual static, if you will, for longer than 3 months. Think of the static of an old TV set. That’s the easiest thing to apply it. They see it 24/7, eyes open, eyes closed, it doesn’t make a difference. They see that static. Second is constant dots across the entire visual field. 75% percent of patients also report 3 of these 4 symptoms: continued image of a stationary thing or trailers, photophobia, nyctalopia or the inability to see at nighttime or dim and dark lighting, or entoptic phenomena which is like visual images inside the eye or floaters.” - Dr. Charles Shidlofsky
