I have that. I thought it was normal. Although this snow isn't as drastic as in the pictures shown on the page. That or I just got used to it. I also have lots afterimages and have the same experiences when it's dark. So yeah |
|
Anyone else here afflicted with this? I've had it for as long as I can recall. |

I thought it was normal as well, it is annoying at night. |

Yep i get this too. Whenever I go sledding (and probably alot of other times but its just very obvious when looking at white snowy hills) I get this thing where wherever i look there are black dots going to the point I'm focused on. I havn't really been affected by this stuff at night, just more of seeing floaters during the daytime and that sort of thing. |
|
I don't have this, but when I get sleep deprived, I get this sort of staticky hallucination, like my vision is full of brown blotches. |
|
I don't think that has much to do with this visual snow. Although it is an interesting phenomena. Must be a product of staring at the same thing for a long period of time. I've experienced this hallucination somewhere else besides skiing and I guess you see it because you fall into some sort of trance...? |
|
Oh, wow...I thought I was the only one. I actually have this fairly bad. Especially the damned floaters...they drive me crazy. |

i get this too! but it's more sort of transparent flecks/ miniature circles and it really annoys me... then i have to stop thinking about it and distract myself so i don't obsess on it |
|
You find more about visual snow at this website: http://www.migraine-aura.org/content.../index_en.html |
|
I see all that immediatelly upon closing my eyes at any time of day; but loads of people I've asked say they just see pitch black! Am I like, not normal? |
|
I see that stuff when I close my eyes too, or sometimes when I'm just focusing off at things [usually near lights and bright places], not nearly as bad, maybe one or two that I really notice... |
|
Hello, could you participate in the visual snow survey (see the link in my above post) - there is often an association with migraine (Lucidbulbs) |
|
I don't know if it's relevant but I also see streaks of light coming off lights. Hard to explain, internet's going to slow at the moment to make diagram/find a picture. |

Yeah, I will, and I know it's associated with migranes [at least it is with me], I even said it's with my migranes "The only time it's really bad is when i have those 'classical migranes' I can't even see it blinds me so bad, but typically afterwards it's gone." But yeah, I'll participate. |
|
Hello jmp, did you get my personal message via this board? Thanks, KP |
|
I have that a little. I don't notice it unless I sort of blankly stare into the sky. I can even notice it slightly blankly staring into this bright monitor (thanks to the light background). |
|
So you're telling me that you see "total" blackness when you close your eyes? |
|
Well not exactly. When I close my eyes... I think I just see the after-image of everything in my field of vision. It's kind of cloudy at first, and slowly darkens, and then I start to see random patterns everywhere, which I can't say is really anything like the visual snow because these patterns are just so random. |
|
Yeah, I see that + the visual snow. That's what I've always been interested in, what do others see. |
|
I have that too. The one in the picture has a lot, I usually don't see that many. But they are transparent and kind of move. But they don't really change, I can recognize a couple by their shape. They aren't all circles, but like the shape of a small piece of hair , or like these ~~. |
