I'm pretty sure this is normal, but just something most people aren't aware of and it's hard to make people aware of.

I think it's a pretty common thing with hallucinogens like LSD where after the effects wear off people notice the normal visual noise they didn't before and it can bother them.

I see it all the time and also notice it more at night too.

Looking at the gofundme page posted this seems a bit more than just visual noise.

I was diagnosed with a mild version of schizophrenia and symptoms vary on a weekly or monthly basis. When it's at its peak, my night vision gets really noisy, when I close my eyes it's like I can still "see" based on the sound I hear and when I look at a bright light and look away it's like the motion repeats itself 0.5 seconds later.

And so when I'm more "normal" I have none of these issues. Sure I have some visual noise but it's not comparable to what the gofundme page describes.
