What the petition asks

Visual snow means seeing what looks like static everywhere in your vision, its neurological and not a mental health illness. But unrecognised hence the name 'visual snow'. Thousands of people suffer with it and it's being ignored. Something needs to be done.
'Visual snow, visual static, or persistent visual snow is a transitory or persisting medical disorder in which sufferers see snow or television-like static in parts or the whole of their visual fields, constantly in all light conditions, even visible in daylight, darkness and with closed eyelids'
