Has the patient been dilated and examined by an ophthalmologist. Sounds like bilateral, progressive, inferior vitreous detachments.

Subject: visual disturbance in superior field od and os
Anyone seen this?
Superior visual snow?
I have a 21yo male farmer with 2 years of constant superior visual disturbance initially intermittent now constant. Describes it as a waviness in both eyes. The waviness moves and drifts.
Came on after waking.
No headaches at the time. Not a headache sufferer.
Has had a hx of migraine but not significant.
Formal visual fields and OCT RNFL , macula and GCL are normal.
MRI brain and orbits normal
EEG normal
Had VEP, mfERG and all normal
Tried pizotifen, endep, sumitriptan, topirimate, magnesium, riboflavin,
Then tried ajovy one injection and had numbness on left side and mgiraines but made no difference to superior field disturbance.
This is a schematic of what he sees in his vision binocularly.
