From the Experts:

The Visual Snow Conference

 

I felt privileged and honored to be at this first, and historic, Visual Snow meeting. There was optimism, energy and comradery in the air; I know we will build on this experience to make a difference.

Attending the conference was an invaluable experience for me. It allowed me to connect with colleagues and Visual Snow sufferers in a manner that stimulated new ideas for collaborations and a better understanding of the depth of suffering experienced by people with Visual Snow.

It was a tremendous privilege to participate in the VSC, and to meet so many incredible individuals collectively committed to unraveling the mystery that is Visual Snow giving hope to the countless number of suffers of this poorly understood disorder.

It was a privilege to attend the conference. It was valuable at several levels but the most significant impression was the poignancy hearing at first hand the difficulties confronted by the patients, not only in regard to their disorders but, more significantly, their experience with the medical profession.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to meet so many of those affected by Visual Snow. Their comments and detailed observations add to our knowledge about the disease…The important thing is to learn more about the medical aspects of visual snow and at the same time establish a more cohesive group that can support raising money for research

Vision Concepts/Director of Research

The VSC was the most important first step in increasing awareness and finding solutions to Visual Snow. I felt that I learned so much at the conference and gained further clarity and direction as a physician who sees these patients and tries to manage them.

I also gained further insight that the Visual Snow Initiative is a team effort and will be a team effort going forward…We still have a long ways to go but we are heading in the right direction!
