From Neuroscience News:
Winter means snow starts falling in many parts of the country. But there’s a different kind of snow that appears year-round for some across the globe.
Visual snow, is a rare condition in which people see a type of “TV static” in their vision. The condition affects around 2% of the population. While the disorder itself can not be treated, it is possible to treat symptoms associated with the disorder.
Other symptoms may involve flashes of light or seeing things that the brain is supposed to tune out, such as eye floaters or afterimages. These types of symptoms can be distracting by themselves. However, some people also suffer from additional symptoms, such as dizziness, headaches or ringing in the ears.
