Sierra Domb, Founder of the Visual Snow initiative and Dr Peter. Goadsby were featured on CBS’ “The Doctors” on May 13, 2019.
Segment Description
“The Doctors are joined by Sierra Domb, who has Visual Snow Syndrome, and her neurologist, Dr. Peter Goadsby. Sierra Domb says she first realized something was wrong when she was in college and saw the snow-like static while looking at her professor in front of the whiteboard. She got her eyes tested, but her results came back normal, which left her baffled. Sierra Domb did her own research online, where she learned about Visual Snow Syndrome and then found Dr. Peter Goadsby, who formally diagnosed her.”

Sierra Domb will share her experiences as someone with Visual Snow Syndrome to raise awareness for the neurological condition.

Sierra will discuss what Visual Snow Syndrome is like from her personal perspective as a patient, as well as her professional observations as VSI’s Founder. Dr. Goadsby will offer his academic and clinical insights to explain the science of Visual Snow Syndrome to the show’s audience. Both Sierra Domb and Dr. Goadsby are enthused by the opportunity to continue their VSI collaboration to spread necessary worldwide education regarding Visual Snow Syndrome on a large platform. As someone who once thought she was alone in having Visual Snow Syndrome, Sierra Domb says she is humbled and touched by how many people have reached out to the VSI team to share their stories. Sierra Domb hopes her episode of The Doctors will resonate with and reach more people who have Visual Snow Syndrome.
“I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to share my story on this platform, so that other people with Visual Snow Syndrome, like myself, can realize that they are not alone, there is action being taken to help, and new resources are becoming available. Thank you so much to everyone for your support.”
