Nystagmus
Nystagmus Overview
Nystagmus is an eye movement disorder that occurs when eyes move involuntarily side-to-side, up and down, or in a circular motion. It commonly affects both eyes and may last seconds or be a permanent condition.
Nystagmus Treatment
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.
