Thread: Visual Snow

Anyone else here afflicted with this? I've had it for as long as I can recall.
Basically is it like static on the T.V except in your vision.
This site explains it in more detail; http://www.visualsnow.com/

During the day I can see a static sort of thing on white walls, have these 'floaters' when I look at the sky combined with static and blue balls (which I have been told are white blood cells).
This picture shows what I mean clearly;

This is not so bad as it's more of a mild visual disturbance than a problem, though at night it is different.

At night (read: in the dark) ,and in the evening though it isn't as bad but still worse than day, this minor visual disturbance turns into extreme static causing my ability to see anything to be minimal and there are colours mixed in with the static. This is hard to explain, this paint diagram sort of explains it though the colours aren't as defined and neither is the static.


I get afterimages and burn-in from light when in the dark and ghosting. It is sometimes difficult to watch movies at night, especially when tired.

This wikipedia article also covers it; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow

Just wonderin'..

Edit: This is hard to explain, here are some simulations that will help you understand.
