Objective: Visual snow (VS) is a rare clinical entity in neuro-ophthalmology. It is described as the presence of flickering dots affecting the whole visual field, often compared by patients to snow or pixelated television static. Importantly, it can be an alarming symptom for many patients, lowering their quality of life. Our purpose is to increase awareness of this disease, because many healthcare professionals have difficulty identifying symptoms as the nature of the condition is subjective. In this review, we aimed to describe the updates in the etiology and treatment of visual snow. We searched for articles in English, presenting original data and published after December 2019. Different studies show inconsistent data. Neuroimaging studies found, among other things, hypermetabolism of the lingual gyrus, increased gray matter in different brain areas, and altered connectivity in visual pathways. However, these findings were not present in all patients. According to the literature, among the most effective drugs is lamotrigine. Unfortunately, it also carries a risk of worsening the symptoms. It is crucial to remember that VS can be worsened or induced by alcohol, recreational drugs, and certain medication. In terms of treatment, nonpharmacological approaches such as color filters and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation were also used. Interpretation: Further studies are needed to understand the nature of VS fully. Even though the pathophysiology and effective treatment of the condition remains unknown, expanding the knowledge about visual snow can impact the comfort of patients.
