Mindfulness therapy for visual snow syndrome
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of mindfulness-based therapy can help people with visual snow syndrome (VSS), a condition where you see persistent visual disturbances. It aims to see if this therapy can reduce the distress and improve quality of life for those affected.

This study uses visual tests and brain scans to understand how the brain processes vision in people with visual snow syndrome compared to those without. It may help researchers learn more about what causes this condition.
This study uses a technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of your brain, to explore how people with visual snow syndrome, color blindness, or normal vision perceive light patterns. This may help understand why visual snow happens and how to treat it.
This study uses a very strong MRI brain scanner to better understand conditions like migraine, visual snow, or epilepsy that don’t fully respond to treatment. You may be able to join if you meet specific diagnosis and safety requirements for the scanner.
This trial tests a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and visual training to see if it can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It may help if you have stable vision loss from glaucoma and want to try a new approach.
This study tests whether mindfulness practices can help people with central serous chorioretinopathy, a condition where fluid builds up under the retina and blurs vision. It aims to see if mindfulness reduces stress and improves recovery compared to usual care.
