International Nystagmus Day International Nystagmus Awareness Day brings attention to a condition that can cause severe vision problems among other concerns. Depending on the type of nystagmus, treatments, and symptoms vary.Nystagmus presents as drifting or wobbly eyes with two basic types of nystagmus:
Jerk nystagmus – As the name suggests, the eyes jerk quickly in one direction and are then followed by slow movements in the opposite direction.Pendular nystagmus – The eyes move with equal speed in either direction.
The condition also has 5 classifications of diagnoses. One of those is congenital nystagmus which physicians diagnose primarily in infancy or childhood. However, acquired nystagmus can be caused by illness or side effects of prescribed or misused medications. Of the two, congenital nystagmus is more prevalent.Those with nystagmus face a variety of challenges. The condition may cause severe vision problems causing them to be legally blind. Because the eye movements set them apart from others, they often face self-image and social issues. While no cure exists, treatments include contact lenses, glasses, medication, and even surgical interventions. As with many conditions, early intervention is important. A physician will determine the type and cause of nystagmus and determine the best approach to treatment.
