An assortment of tips for living with visual snow syndrome

If your depth perception sucks (especially when it’s dark), use a stick or a cane when going down stairs or across rough terrain. If you know how long the stick/cane is, you can use it to measure how far down or up you need to step by tapping it with the stick/cane first.

If there are too many floaters/bluefield entoptic phenomena in your vision, move your eyes quickly from side to side a couple of times. This doesn’t solve the problem forever, but it usually clears your vision better than blinking does.

If your tinnitus bothers you at night, sleep with a fan or a white noise machine or anything that will make background noise and muffle the tinnitus.

Sunglasses are underrated. Keep them with you at all times to combat photophobia. (If you wear glasses, get a pair that can fit over your glasses. They’re easier to deal with than clip-ons, especially while driving.)

Never underestimate the power of waving your hands in front of you when walking through a dark space so you don’t run into things.

Another thing about depth perception: if yours sucks, remember that and don’t go running up a hill in the dark (I have scars from doing this).

If your phone light is too bright for you (especially at night) and you have an iPhone, go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Reduce White Point. It’ll make the light from the screen darker and easier on your eyes. (This might be different on newer versions of iPhones, and I have no idea how it works on other types of phones.)

That’s all I’ve got for now. Reblog with more tips if you have them!

happy birthday, the duck of creativity

As you do when you live in a logging town, when we were in third grade we sat through a presentation where we were told that -40° winters were important for killing off pine beetles.

And to this day, whenever the temperature drops to -40°, there’s still a voice in my head that unbidden goes “Yeah fuck them beetles”

the stars won't warm you, so what do you chase after?
