My second covid infection. I had covid in December 2021, long COVID symptoms started four months later (derealization, breathing problems). Got covid again in June 2022 and visual snow/tinnitus started. The visual snow isn’t debilitating but I can’t see the sky and walls clearly, vision is hazy.

Do you have ocd symptoms?

u/Other_Month_8507 Jan 31 '23

Yes. It started years ago, before I got covid and the subsequent visual snow.

I don't know for sure, maybe a little but after having it for almost a year and a half I don't focus on it as much. I still have hope it will get better. I only noticed it in very dark rooms before I got covid. Do you have any other vision problems?

I’ve always had floaters and always had mild snow vision but after COVID and a vestibular migraine it’s more severe. Been worse for a week
