Nystagmus

Nystagmus refers to involuntary, repetitive eye movements.Nystagmus can affect one or both eyes and may be congenital (existing at birth) or acquired later in life owing to a variety of factors.
Congenital nystagmus typically arises in infancy or early childhood and may not be associated with any other health concerns. However, a variety of conditions, such as neurological abnormalities, drugs, alcohol consumption, or even inner ear difficulties, can cause acquired nystagmus. Illnesses like multiple sclerosis, stroke, or brain trauma can sometimes cause nystagmus.
The most typical symptoms of nystagmus include blurred vision, difficulties focusing, and a feeling of dizziness or imbalance. Rapid eye movements can make it difficult to retain clear vision, particularly when performing jobs requiring precise focus.
While some people may benefit from corrective lenses, medicines, or physical therapy, others may need more specialised care to manage their diseases. If left untreated, nystagmus can interfere with everyday activities and quality of life; however, with early diagnosis and adequate treatment, many people can effectively manage the disease.
