'Rare condition gives me TV static in my vision' | BBC News
For as long as Paris Haigh can remember she's seen tiny flickering dots in her vision.
The dots look like TV static, and they're a constant presence in her life.
The 19-year-old can see them when she goes shopping. They're with her when she studies at college. She can even see the dots when she closes her eyes.
Paris, from East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire, assumed for many years that everyone else could see them too.
When she discovered this wasn't the case, she put it down to her autism and sensory processing disorder - a condition which causes her senses to be especially sensitive.
She then went from thinking that everyone could see the dots to wondering if she was the only one in the world who could.
But then Paris heard about "visual snow" - a little-known neurological condition which causes visual and non-visual symptoms.
