Seeing an eye doctor for an exam is the best way to diagnose and determine what should be done about your condition.

Nystagmus is often associated with serious health conditions. Over time it may improve or resolve itself. However, your eye doctor may recommend medications to treat persistent nystagmus.

During your appointment, you can discuss your options to find what may work best for you.
