The Silent Burden of 'Visual Snow': 3% of the World's Population Sees the World with Interference

A report explains visual snow, a neurological disorder that makes people see constant static or white-noise-like interference in their vision.

Experts and studies cited in the piece suggest it may affect up to 3% of the population, far more than commonly recognized.

The condition is linked to brain mechanisms and can overlap with migraine and tinnitus, but its exact cause remains unclear.

There is still no cure, which makes diagnosis and treatment especially challenging for millions who may live with it unnoticed.
