Treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome

Prism glasses in Visual Snow Syndrome work by modulating visual cortex neuronal activity and altering neural signal processing through precise optical deviation. They help reduce visual noise and cortical hyperexcitability by redirecting visual input and potentially dampening abnormal neural synchronization, which may ameliorate the characteristic visual disturbances associated with the syndrome.
