Happy to help: Visual snow is a Funny Fenomenon or maybe I should right PHunny PHenomenon! Just my variant of visual snow. We used to think it was some type of migraine variant or aura..but I'm convinced that it's a different event all together from the classica visual aura in migraineurs. As it relates to you question there is no treatment standard for this problem. We'd first want to see if there are triggers.
