Seeing small area of blinking, multicolored dots in both eyes
It's not Visual Snow Syndrome which, by definition, affects the entire visual field. It started September 1 so I soon saw my regular retina specialist who reported no changes since prior scans or any obvious problems. My primary care doc gave a a referral for a brain MRI which showed no abnormalities. I then saw a neuro-opthonologist who found no neurological issues.
There are times when my brain can seemingly filter out the blinking dots but they reappear as soon as I think about them. I'm thinking that something is causing "static" somewhere in the signal chain between my retina and my visual cortex. I'll update this thread if I learn anything useful. Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.

Sounds like you have a great doctor.
Are you take any eye drops. I’m guessing It could be a reaction to some kind of drop that you might be putting in your eyes.
You have a mystery there
And I wish you the very best figuring this out

3 Reactions@minnesota10 Thanks for the response. I occasionally take eye drops in the morning bit not most mornings. But I can give them up and see if it makes any difference.

2 ReactionsI thought I’d post this update. I saw an ophthalmologist at the Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore. It was suggested that the issue was Charles Bonet syndrome. This is probably accurate, but the hallucination consist of blinking dots consistently and the s hape of the blinking dots is the same and both eyes. The shape of the affected region keeps changing, but I would liken it to a gerrymandered congressional district.
