Okay, you mention electromagnetic field and photons. I'll agree with you there. I am sensitive to the sound of frequency through television especially if its poor reception. I hear like an annoying highish-low pitch sound when the signal is poor. I thought I was crazy but I later discovered about Mosquito frequency.


My visual snow was the strongest when I first started seeing in 2012, New Year's Day. This is where I agree with your "shape" anecdote. I recalled seeing swirls, circles, and anything near circular squiggles in my field of site. I thought I was going insane upon seeing these "illusions". I still see them but over the last 7 years, I grew accustom to them and rather see them as a "bonus feature" to my field of site. Plus, it does make my imagination go wild hahaha It keeps entertained than feeling hopeless than I can't change it.


Side tracked in this conversation, I honestly do believe its neuron connections and more specific to our eye sights. Like wires to a light bulb, I think those wires got burnt out. Or why is it that suddenly, visual snow is being labeled and talked now in the age of technology and bright blue lights as opposed to past. Unless pointillism artists had it and we just mistaken it for art.


If it helps with my idea of neural connection, I recommend checking out Sensation and Perception textbooks. https://www.amazon.com/Sensation-Perception-Bruce-Goldstein-ebook/dp/B00BF3VMSA .


If you may be kind and patience with free time, could you link me to your TED talks. I figure to see what your side of grass looks like to you. :)

Yes, I can recommend the pair I use. For me it seems that my visual snow got much better when I started using them. If I was to stop using them for a day or two my visual snow would come back stronger. A side note about the top comment, that program is not all you need. After using the program I realized there is no filter for blue light during the day lol. Heres the link https://www.amazon.com/Optiks-Computer-Gaming-Glasses-light-protection/dp/B00LX0YQV0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1504659470&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=blue+light+glasses+duco&psc=1

>eens I can do much better with very vertically stacked text, like on a portrait phone screen, than long lines.

>i have to read a lot for my degree, so vs has been a real challenge.

Same here, would also suggest IRLEN Overlay : https://www.amazon.co.uk/IRLEN-Colored-Overlays-Reading-Sample/dp/B003LNMHTU

They can (or not) help you. They do help me reading on computer unfortunately A4 is not big enough for my screen to be pratical.

Tinted glasses when using the TV/Computer help with my eye strain a ton. I use these ones.

Also, using F.Lux, having that cranked all the way up. That still isn't enough for me, so I turn the contrast down on all my screens.

Unfortunately my reddit app crashed so I lost the comment I was writing. But the gist of it was: avoid cheap monitors with "temporal dithering" (often called FRC). They are essentially fake 8-bit displays (6-bit + FRC) or fake HDR10 (8-bit + FRC). They flicker pixels really quickly to simulate more colours than they can actually reproduce. That flickering is sometimes visible as TV static in dark shades, and it really compounds my visual snow...

Also avoid monitors that use PWM (pulse-width modulation) to dim the display, or keep them at 100% brightness. They flicker the display really quickly to once again simulate a lower brightness, and some people are very sensitive to it (I am not). You need to read professional reviews to find out if PWM is an issue for a particular monitor.

Finally, you could buy an "e-ink" monitor They are monochrome displays like that of many e-readers. They don't cause eye strain because they don't use backlit pixels. They use black and white magnetic beads that simulate the appearance of paper. The main disadvantage is very low refresh rates (gaming or watching videos is out of the question), and they can be very very expensive. But they would be probably be perfect for a programmer.
