#visual disturbance

[crossstitchbossbitch-blog]

Staying up super late to enthuse about a game, then working for 8 hours on a laptop was NOT ideal. I got my first optical migraine, no pain thankfully but had THE weirdest visual disturbances!

Like a curved bar of prismatic rainbow shiny stuff snaking round my eye. So unsettling.

Googled it, wondered if I was having a stroke. Apparently can be caused by stroke, diabetes, stress, blood pressure, caffeine and tiredness.

Messaged my mum, asked her if I should freak out. She said nah but good to go to the opticians anyway. Thanks mum!

I haven't ever had weird shit happen with my eyes like that when sober... Although maybe back in the day when I used to indulge in hedonism and stay up for days, I guess there were probably strange things happening. I can't even remember at this point!

interference 1

Based on the reflection of visual disturbance, interference is a serie of editions with minimal geometric patterns merging into different printing techniques. Realized from a superposition play of photocopied white sheets, the geometric elements change randomly. The separate risoprinted modules form some visual connections and cause the accident supporting the concept of optical phenomenon.

For the first issue, interference 1 uses additionally a cut on some pages, modifying the shape of patterns and disturbing the first vision.

Each copy is unique. digital and riso printed at home. cut by hand.

36 pages — two colors — recycled paper 80 g/m2 — cover recycled paper 300 g/m2 — 21x15 cm — 50 copies

This new edition will be shown during Libros Mutantes, Madrid art book fair, 20th April to 22nd April 2018, at La Casa Encendida.

Yeah, that doesn't work for an autistic old fag.

Does anybody know about visual snow? I googled it because I'd heard the term before in reference to sensory processing disorder in autistic people and I thought 'oh visual snow that kind of sounds like it could be a that static-y thing' and apparently it is but it seems like there's also a lot of other symptoms as well (like migraines, floaters, other visual phenomena) that I don't have. The only one I have is double vision (which is a fairly recent thing, within the last year, and I didn't even realise until my recent yearly eye test). Also, people who do have it seem to have a lot of problems with it but I think I pretty much tune it out, especially in bright lights, and even when I do notice it it doesn't really bother me. Does this count as visual snow but just very mild? If it helps, I'm pretty sure it's there constantly but I don't really notice it unless I'm thinking about it or kind of not looking at anything in particular but not spacing out, or if it's dark, and it's pretty much like a layer of TV static over everything.

hello everyone

I'd just like to say that could people who I am in a mutual follow with please tag their posts which have any kind of visual disturbance?

This includes optical illusions, flashing lights/colours and anything similar.

I am prone to very severe migraines, and although the cause is yet unknown, visual disturbances are one of the possible causes, which my doctor has told me to eliminate as far as possible.

I am not eligible for any medication for these, so my only way of preventing them is by not being exposed to the possible causes.

Although I would really like you to do this in every case, this summer in particular I have important exams, and cannot possibly have a migraine during this time or I will not be able to take some of the exams, seriously affecting my future.

(Even if the disturbances are just in a small reaction gif at the bottom, this could still put me in very severe pain.)

Please tag it: "visual disturbance".

Thank you, I'm sure you guys will co-operate with me on this! :)
