Meet the Researchers
The Visual Snow Initiative (VSI) has collaborated with leading experts on Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) and fostered global connections to strengthen research efforts and accelerate progress.
VSI’s Global Research Team includes physicians, scientists, and researchers from around the world who focus on investigating VSS, identifying evidence-based treatments, and working toward a cure. Their research explores symptomatology, pathophysiology, brain network mechanisms, neurotransmitters, biomarkers, and a range of potential treatment options. Areas of expertise span neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, ophthalmology, optometry, neuroscience, neurobiology, and advanced technology.
Your generous contribution allows us to collaborate worldwide and drive forward research, understanding, and solutions for VSS.
