Is it normal to see white static/snow?

Question

Most of the time, I see very faint white static over everything I see. I'm not sleep deprived, i'm not on any medications, I don't do drugs or drink, or anything. So can anyone tell me why I see static over everything?

Answer 1

If it doesn't bother you, then great.  This is something that actually a lot of people experience.  You can find a forum for it here:

www.visualsnow.com

A word of caution: The best thing you can do is not worry about it.  Spending too much time on that board and researching it mostly just leads to paranoia and hypochondria.

Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, what I give is not medical advice, just my opinion based on knowing nothing about your medical history.

All the best.

Answer 2

Do you wear contact lenses?  If so, your contacts may need a good enzyme cleaning!  (Or, if they're disposable, pitch them and use a new pair.)

If you don't wear contacts, then you need to see an eye doctor as soon as possible . . ."floaters" or a "curtain" can mean that you have retinal degeneration.   In any event, it is definitely not normal to see what you appear to be seeing.
