Visual snow -Please let me turn the television off already- - General

Huh, I just realised I have snow. Thanks a lot, [I]jerk.[/I]

I only have the static, and only in complete darkness.

I get the floaters and the visual snow. But I might have the beam of light thing but I just thought those were my eyelid hair.

I get all apart from the visual snow. I like floaters, when you watch them they are soothing.

GAH. I get floaters all the time. I thought some kind of bug was eating my eye at first. And also, does anyone else have myopia? its when either one of your eyes drifts out and you see double of everything. SO FUCKING ANNOYING

Hate those floaters. Scared me as a child, thought they were worms in my eyes :(

[QUOTE=Craptasket;20464606]If you want insane visual snow, close your eyes and gently push your thumb into the side of your eye in the eye socket, watch the fireworks, open your eyes after too.[/QUOTE] So I'm not the only one...

I have the starbursts :frown:

I have floaters, though they look completely different for me. They look like tiny sets of concentric circles radiating outwards from a central point. I used the think they were pixies :buddy:

I have this, but it's not particularly noticeable unless I am looking for it. The floaters, however... God damn them...

God damn I have visual snow, starbursts and tinnitus. I didn't know the first two had names though. The tinnitus is mild, but the snow and starbursts are really annoying.

Hell I have floaters.

I see floaters occasionally, I thought I was crazy :tinfoil:

I usually get floaters when I stare at the sky for a long time, but usually I don't see them. Also when it's REALLY quiet I can kind of hear a slight ringing but only when there is zero other noise. I've never noticed any static. Also I get those flares on very small points of light (like stars), but not on normal objects.

Yup, i've got all that pretty bad. It's something i noticed about myself a long time ago, and decided to look it up. It gives me a headache when i focus on dark things.

I got visual snow, 'cept it's kinda coloured...sometimes. I also got floaters and starbursts too , I used to think floaters were worms! Here's a neat trick: Have a Bead of water on he edge of your hair and focus your eyes on it, it goes all microscopic. I can also vibrate my eyes fast! My eyes are messed up. Oh and I also have super loud tinnitus due to bad ear infections as a young kid. I just ignore it.

I have floaters and those light-rays.

I heard that static on the TV has something to do with waves left over from The Big Bang. Pretty awesome

this is pretty much how flares look to me: [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3911100/flare.jpg[/IMG] They're the worst of my audio/visual glitches

Sometimes I'll stare up at my ceiling in poor light and I'll get a shitload of snow. It pulsates.

[QUOTE=Zeraux;20480430]I heard that static on the TV has something to do with waves left over from The Big Bang. Pretty awesome[/QUOTE] Static comes from radio waves from all different kinds of things, usually supernovas.

I have a perma-floater because part of the membrane in one of my eyes (the membrane is supposed to dissolve with age) folded into a ball. Really annoying.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;20464478]The ONLY time I see static is in the dark. I need to turn up my eye's ISO settings[/QUOTE] More ISO means more noise so you're wrong

[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;20466870]Most "floaters" are known to be caused by vitamin A difficency, or malnutrition in general, though it can be caused by other things. If you eat a lot of starchy foods, meat, fatty foods, etc. and not enough green veggies, you aren't really getting proper amounts of vitamins, which can cause floaters. If you take one of those multivitamins daily for several weeks / months, it should generally decrease the amount of floaters you get, unless you have a more severe eye problem. I have the second two problems, and this bizarre one: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex[/url] That's either a blackout / brownout: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncope_%28medicine%29[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownout_%28medical%29[/url] Or a mild bout of shock. I used to get brownouts frequently when I was younger, and still get them once in a blue moon. Brownouts I experienced were generally vision fading to a central point accompanied by what I would describe as a waterfall sound. They're usually caused by having low blood pressure and quickly performing a strenuous action (ie. getting out of bed very quickly, standing up quickly from sitting, etc.) The safest thing to do if you experience a brownout is to either sit down or lay on the floor with your legs propped up on a chair to allow blood to circulate properly again. If you keep moving around while in a brownout, it could turn into a blackout and you could faint and hurt yourself falling on something.[/QUOTE] Thanks dude. Once again, FP has saved the day.

I only get "floaters" when i look at the sky. btw I like how Bioshock simulates "starbursts"

I get the visual snow. I was worried about it when I was a kid, but I just described it strangely so no one really knew what it was. It isn't really bad, it doesn't impair my vision at all.

I get all of these, the fuzz doesn't annoy me, but the starbursts do.

The visual snow really only happens in dark conditions for me. Does anyone have "grain" in the dark?

Well thanks for the info, I always wondered about this. I can see floaters, and also star bursts apparently but I always assumed that was normal. The floaters only occur when I squint my eyes slightly outside with decent sunlight. I also get a very mild case of visual snow when I am extremely tired, not constantly. I just figured people would think I am insane asking if seeing small circles that remind me of bacteria floating around my vision when I squint... lol.
