    Anyone who also has vision disorders (visual snow) ?

    I first noticed that I have visual snow many years ago. It looks as if everything is vibrating and shaking. And I noticed that recently the visual snow has gotten a lot worse and I think this is linked to stress.
    Here is a simulator if you want to know what I mean.

    I've had visual disturbances for years. These include floaters, visual snow and photophobia. I always assumed it was because I'd had an operation to correct a turn when I was 7 y/o. The more anxious a period I'm having, the worse these disturbances seem to be. My optition told me that my eyes don't work together which is why I can't see things in 3D with the glasses on. I'm also really prone to motion sickness when my anxiety is bad too meaning video games have to go out of the window... booooo

    I've had those. Mine is migraine. I get the headache and visual effects on separate days!

    Not exactly snow, but I can't read text for several minutes. Vibrates too.

    How do you know it is migraine do you have headaches?
    I don't have headaches. I have been having the vibrations for many years now. I cannot really say if the vibrations are basically visual snow because the visual snow simulator also causes this vibrating effect. But the strange transparent pacers which I also have are something totally different. I am sick of having stuff which no doctor even knows.

    Motion sickness aside, your story is very similar to mine! Operation at 5, VS and stuff worsened by anxiety, can't see 3D at the movies (but I don't really care).

    I have lots of floaters (some black and wispy, others are perfect little circles), and I also have "shadows" where it looks like everything has gone dark in my peripheral vision. It's like I've blinked for too long.

    I find them pretty scary, convinced I must have a tumour or something.
