ive also been wondering about this:
i remember that upon starting fluoxetine, which is the substance that ""gave me pssd"", all colors got extremely and almost unnaturally vivid. to the point that i tought to myself "heh, thats why its called FLUO xetine"
probably the colors have faded back to normal perception as of now.

i think these type of things are extremely hard to notice... i mean to remember how you were before, during, and after. memories are a weird thing and often ephemeral. we tend to remember things how we want to remember them and often distort
i have voted "other" due to this reason

Yes i agree! Is totally individual ,but i've already read somewhere other users complain about something similar regarding "poorer" vision quality after ssri (and not only on this forum) .

Maybe, but I think it is an overall psychological effect, like being less excitable, seeing fewer different sides and possibilities, at least for me, maybe it's more genuinely visually related for you.

I voted other because i don't see colors differently, but i got the visual snow thing. It's like i'm seeing the world through an untuned TV.

That's almost exactly what i'm seeing. Interesting that they found abnormal electrical activity. Ever since getting this condition i have felt like there is an electrical current running through my body. I can literally feel like a static/electrical sensation in my skin all the time, most notably on the scalp, and i can see it in my eyes as static/noise/snow. I can even hear it as some sort of high pitched tinnitus. Do you think the person had reduced or increased electrical activity in the eyes?

I hadn't noticed my vision had changed, but when I had my 24hr window, I realised everything was bright and vivid - amazing! It highlighted just how many things are effected by this
