More aware of visual snow or tv static in vision lately (not floaters). could this be caused by anxiety/stress? stress has been up lately.

Eye exam and CBT: Rule out any possible eye disease by an exam - not just sight test. Then consider a psych eval by a psychologist to Dx and give treatment recommendations. CBT is a way to optimize your mental health outcome. Medication alone is less effective. Learn how to handle stress. Best!
