Historical, Diagnostic, and Chromatic Treatment in Visual Snow Syndrome: A Retrospective Analysis

M. H. Esther Han et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the historical, diagnostic, and treatment aspects of patients with visual snow syndrome/visual snow. The results showed that visual snow is typically constant and monochromatic, with an average duration of 6.43 years. Bright and dark surfaces, as well as computer screens, were the most provocative/exacerbating conditions. Around 80% of patients were prescribed a chromatic tint that subjectively reduced visual snow intensity.

The efficacy of neuro-optometric visual rehabilitation therapy in patients with visual snow syndrome

Terry Tsang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility of Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Therapy (NORT) for treating Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS). The results showed that patients with VSS experienced an improvement in quality of life (QOL) after 6 and 12 weeks of NORT treatment. The study also found improvements in specific symptoms such as visual function, social functioning, and mental health.

The Developmental Eye Movement Test Does Not Detect Oculomotor Problems: Evidence from Children with Nystagmus

Nouk Tanke et al.

Summary: The DEM test ratio does not effectively detect fixation and saccade abnormalities associated with nystagmus, indicating it lacks general construct validity to identify true eye movement disorders and is not suitable for evaluating oculomotor disorders.

Eye movement characteristics provide an objective measure of visual processing changes in patients with visual snow syndrome

Emma J. Solly et al.

Summary: Visual snow syndrome (VSS) is a poorly understood neurological disorder related to attentional control. The study shows that VSS patients exhibit differential performance in various saccade tasks, possibly due to heightened saccade-related activity in visual regions.
