Visual Snow Syndrome: Therapeutic Implications

Visual snow and its syndrome represent a relatively new and enigmatic neurological condition affecting the human sensory, motor, and perceptual systems. In this narrative review, first an overview of the condition and its basic characteristics and demographics are presented. Then, the six therapeutic approaches that have been attempted over the past decade are detailed by a simple discussion of the problem with the patient, medications, special chromatic tints, oculomotor training, visual noise adaptation, and environmental changes, which have met with varying degrees of success. Thus far, chromatic tints and oculomotor training appear to be the most successful.
