Visual snow
I have few symptoms, after searching alot on internet I found them very close to this syndrome called visual snow, i feel some layer which obstructs my vison when I told this in my childhood no one believed me even eye doctor told nothing wrong with my eyes, second one is my ears keep ringing it is nightmare when it is silent. I kept saying myself I am just overthinking and nothing is wrong. But recently Issue with my eyes increased, I am getting lot of eye strain, I am not able to see properly. I am getting lot of head ache. I am sensitive to light from beginning but now it became more. What should I do ? Do we have any treatments in india? Is it even because of visual snow or am I overthinking

The symptoms you are describing—persistent visual disturbances, light sensitivity, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), eye strain, and headaches—align closely with a condition known as Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS). This is a neurological condition, not related to any structural problems with the eyes, which is why routine eye exams often show normal results.
Next Steps
A neurologist with expertise in migraine or neuro-ophthalmology can evaluate your symptoms thoroughly.
• Ensure other causes (like migraines with aura, optic nerve issues, or neurological disorders) are ruled out.
Health Tips
Blue light-blocking glasses or avoiding bright screens may reduce light sensitivity and eye strain.
Stress management, regular sleep, and reducing screen time are crucial.
