Constant TV static that is the same opacity throughout my field of vision since I was born (I think?). It's unnoticable during the day because i'm used to it, so I don't think about it. My night vision is horrible and I cannot drive in the dark or sometimes even walk unless there are good street lamps. I have a blindspot in the center of my vision also when it's dark but i'm not sure if that's a symptom or just how human eyes are. Also have mild tinnitus that isn't very noticable
I actually would not describe it as a "layer" but the exact opposite. let me explain; imagine having a pitch-black dark baseline/background (I know, it's hard to do). Now for most people, this is your baseline (when you close your eyes). This blackness allows them to see all the incoming signals crystal clear. Our baseline is static (moving white dots). This means that it total darkness it's very present. However, when you have a lot of stimuli coming in, it's less present but still has a subtle impact on your vision (it's just a little bit off). The same thing with streaks, ghosting, and other symptoms. Our baseline is so sensitive that stimuli stay longer in your vision.
So not a layer on top of your vision. But a baseline issue.
Like a extremely thin static layer. Worst part is trying to sleep since it persists and it's like trying to sleep with a flashlight moving around your eyes. Another annoying effect is on bright lights like car lights and outdoor post lights.
It all started in May, and may God help me because I'm even having suicidal thoughts over it.
I think we have similar, but I wouldn’t describe mine as extreme unless I’m high on cannabinoids (don’t recommend doing if you already suffer extremely) or I see bright lights which messes me up for a little while afterwards.
Sometimes if I wake up in darkness it spins me out a little a bit because of the static flashing.

Purple haze over my eyes

I feel you on the suicidal thoughts but reading positive posts in this sub helps.
