kaleidoscope and TV static

Hi. I have had this issue for years upon years. As long as I can remember. In the absence of light I see a semi swirling kaleidoscopic tydish color scheme overlaying in a gradient that corresponds proportionately greater with the decrease of light. During the day it just seems as though there is clear TV static in the air. I have also had a singular non migraine headache in the crown section of my forehead only from temple to temple. I have had mris pet and cat scan eegs seen neurologists optometrist  (kinda) aroma therapist ents alergists and the only thing anyone ever said was in jest that maybe it's a stigmata. Personally, not accepting dogma as a diagnosis and since glasses didn't help that rules out eye migraines without pain, correct? What POSSIBLE thing have I overlooked besides Charles Bonnet syndrome or additional senses that have faded from common use?

That is not Charles Bonnet Syndrome and given the amount of time you have had it, the tests you've done and the specialists you've seen it clearly not anything serious or progressive. Your best bet is unless something new or different develops is ignore it.

I would also suggest you look up "visual snow" using the search feature on this forum and also read about it with your search engine.  Another possibility would be hyperawareness of entopic phenomena. Search and read about that also.
