Today I learned not everyone sees static in the dark.

Yea my whole life I have had visual snow syndrome and just assumed everyone else had it
I see static all the time. When I close my eyes it even becomes colored, creating patterns and stuff. Intensity increases with the brightness of my surroundings. Thanks for pointing out tremors, I recently developed one but thought that it might be due to my prescription.
I'm a videographer. I see noise patterns akin to digital camera noise in low light, and when I close my eyes. I never thought anything of it because "well, that's how cameras work, makes sense my eyes are the same."
I realized it wasn't normal in the first grade when I got in a small fight with my teacher over not being able to see air, which is what I thought the static was.
Based on the comments, looks like there is way MORE than 2% that have this. Thanks for all the cool personal stories!
The amount of medical discoveries that start with, "We dismissed the symptoms people were describing for decades as inconsequential, but recent findings suggest that what they were suffering from is real." is kinda disturbing.
I have this as well, as a kid I discovered if I focused on a single point in the 'static' in the dark it would cause a burst of intense neon coloured circles that seemed to only be in white, magenta, green and black... yes, NEON BLACK LIGHT. It's like a hallucination because I can't see these colours in the real world. I believe this is the phosphenes but it's one hell of a lightshow!
When I was younger I used to see full on fireworks-like shows when I close my eyes to sleep, they looked like those never-ending fractal videos, they were quite distracting and made it difficult to fall asleep but I never told anyone because I thought it was normal to have. Luckily I very rarely have them now.
