Visual Snow: A Case Series from Israel

Abstract

Our aim was to examine the symptoms and clinical characteristics of visual snow in a group of 6 patients from a Department of Ophthalmology and a Department of Neurology. Visual snow is now recognized as a true physiological disorder. Previously, physicians unaware of this syndrome may have misinterpreted its symptoms as a persistent visual aura. By promoting awareness of this syndrome, greater quantitative and qualitative research may expand our understanding and treatment of this disorder.
