    Blind in both eyes or one eye? If it’s one eye it’s because it was obscured or closed which caused overcompensation.

    Can BCDoctorsofOptometry make a video explaining visual snow? and maybe another video about normal things that happen to the eye that people shouldn't be concerned for?

    Could just be your vision. Could be seperate. Maybe, get this: see an optometrist. Correlation =/= causation or whatever
