Static appeared after eye dilation exam, 5 days in and still there in the dark

Hi there. I recently had an eye dilation and eye test where they put a drop in my eyes. The next day I started seeing this static in my vision. It has been 5 days now and I still see it especially in dark environments. I just found out about visual snow and I'm trying to understand more about it. Has anyone else had this happen after a similar exam and did it get better over time? Any info would help.

Static appeared after eye dilation exam, 5 days in and still there in the dark

Hey everyone, new here. So a few days ago I went in for an eye test and they dilated my eyes with a drop. Next day I noticed this static/noise type thing in my vision, kind of like tv static. It's been 5 days now and it's still there, mostly noticeable in the dark or on dark backgrounds, less during the day. Just found out this might be visual snow and honestly wasn't aware this was even a thing before this happened. Did anyone else get this from an eye exam? Did it go away for you or is this just something I'm dealing with now? Kinda freaking out not gonna lie, any help or info is appreciated.
