A syndrome of continuous, enveloping positive visual phenomena, visual snow (VS), afflicts patients who have perennially sought care from ophthalmologists and neurologists without broad recognition of their having a distinct clinical syndrome. Early characterizations of VS predominated in cohorts enriched with high rates of migraine, particularly with visual aura, leading to innumerable treatment trials of migraine preventive therapies for VS that have largely been ineffective.1
