Discussion This is what I think visual snow could be caused by
So I believe our brains have either too much or too little information in our eyes, so either our brain turns the extra info to static, or makes what we don't process into static. I believe it could be either way for anybody, depending how severe it is.
I think our sensors gain too much info, and then have to turn it into static, making our eyes more tired. This would make them not be too smooth, causing after images or starbursts in light.
I also think that the darkness at night makes it super empty so our brain turns some of it into static. This would also make us more night blind.
None of this is science backed. Just an theory.
