Living with Visual Snow Syndrome: Does it Lead to Blindness or Death?

I have visual snow syndrome. I see little tiny static everywhere in mg vision. Usually it doesn’t bother me. But lately after my 2 weeks of anxiety, it has been very active. Sometimes these dots flicker in a way they look like things are straight. Does anybody else have VS? And does it lead to blindness? Death?

Hello! No, VSS does NOT lead to blindness or death. I also have it and thought the exact same thing for awhile. Look into the Visual Snow Initiative!

I've noticed that mental health can have a big impact in visual snow but theres no connection to VSS and blindness as far as I'm aware
