For me it's basically like a grainy noise-like filter over my vision, gets worse in low light but a lot of the time it doesn't bother me. Just a whole load of minuscule multi coloured lights over everything. Quite fun but a lot of the time I just don't even notice them. You've probably got plenty of blood circulation in your brain lmao

I don't have this, but I wanted to ask if you HAVE to convince your mom for some reason? If you do, you could try preparing something like a PowerPoint or Word document with pictures to explain to her exactly what it is and how it works. For me, it's always easier to explain things through those methods rather than trying to use words. If you try a method like that, make sure that the way you word the information is a way that can easily be understood!
