Snowy Vision?! Is This Related to Tinnitus?

[Nebras5]

I have been suffering from tinnitus for a year and a half but these days my vision has become "Snowy"

I'm at my lowest point right now and can't handle this much longer.

There is no scientific proof, but lots of people get visual snow after getting tinnitus. Personally I have noticed my floaters have gotten worse after tinnitus...but no snow

Did your floaters ever get better?

Nope, i used to have 1 dot....but now i have 9 dots and 3 stringy wormy things.

One of the dots is particularly active, he's darker and moves around quicker than the others. I call him "Henry" lol

I have a ton of floaters too. I plan on getting a Vitrectomy for it in a couple years.

I have floaters as well but don't bother me as VS does .

First we beat tinnitus, then the floaters

Sounds like a plan to me

Same here. My Audiologist thought I was crazy for telling him this and even laughed at me.

I got floaters a few days after my car accident, luckily not too many. Around 2 in each eye.

A paper was published showing that 63% of tinnitus sufferers also have VS. they're extremely related.

Is a virectomy dangerous?

 

[Deamon22]

Is a virectomy dangerous?

To risky if you have mild floaters from what i've read.

There's some risk, but it's very small.

Goodluck to those getting the surgery and I hope it all works out and you get to reclaim your vision! <3

Yes I have visual snow too - it looks like my T sounds if that makes sense.

I asked my husband if he had the static / snow vision when he's in a darkened room and he says he does. It's probably more common than we know.
