Visual Snow: Anyone experience this?

Hello, Yes - my 8yo son has visual snow. We have also been to many specialists who have never heard of it and (blessedly) can't find anything else wrong: I diagnosed him based on research. He describes exactly what others with VS do. Also, he gets infrequent migraines with certain triggers (usually heat and dehydration) which are hereditary in our family. I can help him manage the migraines (I get them, too) but the snow is tough. Wondering if people have practical suggestions for school and reading? I've been researching tinted glasses, e-readers (larger font and color contrast help), magnifying glasses, etc. It seems unlikely that we can cure the snow, but that we could assist in the eye strain that comes with it.

Hello @woodgreen -- welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your story. While I don't have visual snow or know much about it, I happened to run across a YouTube video that may provide some help. Hopefully some others will jump in and offer more suggestions. Have you had a chance to read through the discussion above your post?
