Treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome

Alcohol avoidance in Visual Snow Syndrome is recommended due to its potential neurological depressant effects that can exacerbate cortical hyperexcitability and sensory processing abnormalities. By reducing central nervous system neurotransmitter activity, particularly GABA and glutamate signaling, alcohol may temporarily intensify visual disturbances and neurological symptoms associated with the syndrome.

Floaters stayed from the uveitis unfortunately. All symptoms have improved some but definitely very present. Afterimages and contrast sensitivity are still bad. No alcohol has helped a lot as well.
