People with Visual Snow should have a comprehensive examination with an optometrist who has advanced education and experience in Visual Snow.
Optometrists Dr. Charles Shidlofsky of Texas, Dr. Terry Tsang of California have collaborated with the Visual Snow Initiative’s Director of Research, Vanessa Mora in clinical research involving optometric assessment and management of visual snow and associated visual and ocular conditions, presenting their research recently at the 2022 Visual Snow Initiative Virtual Conference.
Drs Shidlofsky and Tsang agreed to present two days of education for Australian and New Zealand optometrists in Sydney in 2023. Watch the conference video highlights HERE. They provided ACBO Optometrists comprehensive information on:
