Visual snow and tingling in the eyes—please help.
I don't experience flashes of light, nor am I bothered by light. However, wherever I look, there are tiny, flickering dots—much like the shimmering pixels you see on a computer screen—present throughout my entire field of vision. It is very bothersome; is this a medical condition, or is it "visual snow"? I asked my sibling, and they said they experience it too, which really worried me. When I asked some friends, however, they said they didn't see anything like that. I am nearsighted, with prescriptions of -1.25 and -1.50; I also have -0.50 astigmatism in my left eye. Can you help me? I haven't had an eye exam in two years, and I don't recall seeing things like this before. Could this be due to my prescription increasing while my glasses remained the same? If this is Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS), I understand there is no cure; what are the latest developments? Are we any closer to a permanent treatment?
