Meet the Researchers
The Visual Snow Initiative (VSI) collaborates with leading experts on Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) and fosters global connections to strengthen research and accelerate progress.
Our Global Research Team comprises physicians, scientists, and researchers worldwide who focus on investigating VSS, identifying evidence-based treatments, and working toward a cure. Their work spans symptomatology, pathophysiology, brain network mechanisms, neurotransmitters, biomarkers, and a wide range of potential treatment options. Expertise covers neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, ophthalmology, optometry, neuroscience, neurobiology, and advanced technology.
Your generous contribution directly supports this global collaboration, advancing research, deepening understanding, and developing solutions for VSS. As research progresses, VSI’s team simultaneously builds international partnerships, raises awareness among public and medical communities, and creates multimodal educational resources designed to support both patients and medical professionals.
