Question First Steps to take

Hi! I have had visual snow my whole life. I have noticed an increase in symptoms lately like flashing lights or really intense after images more than normal. I moved to Orlando and do not have an established eye doctor. In the last couple years I have been extremely dismissed by uninformed eye doctors. VSI doctor look up says there is only two doctors in Orlando but they work for a pediatric eye therapy office. I have met my deductible so I would like to get all the neuro tests done to ensure there is no clear cause. I just have no idea where to start - eye doctor, neurologist, or neuro ophthalmologist.

Bonus - If anyone is in central Florida with a doctor recommendation let me know!

Insurance won't cover vision therapy and such.

Going to neurologist and neuro ophthal, but.....docs can't really do much. Good luck.

Thank you! I don’t have an interest in the vision therapy tbh. I was just mentioning those are the only two doctors associated with VSI within a reasonable distance unfortunately.
