Do you have nystagmus ?

Question

My young son has it. I know it is quite rare and I wondered if anybody else here has it.

Answer 1

Woah!!! That optometry student should stick to glasses and contacts and leave the real medical stuff to the Ophthalmologists. This is a definition for nystagmus from Web MD. Nowhere near the muscle stretching description given by the student of fake eye doctory

Nystagmus refers to rapid involuntary movements of the eyes that may be from side to side (horizontal nystagmus), up and down (vertical nystagmus) or rotary. Depending on the cause, these movements may be in both eyes or in just one eye. The term "dancing eyes" has been used in regional dialect to describe nystagmus.

The involuntary eye movements of nystagmus are caused by abnormal function in the areas of the brain that control eye movements. The exact nature of these disorders is poorly understood. Nystagmus may be either congenital (present at birth) or may be acquired (caused by disease or injury later in life).

Answer 2

nystagmus is a result of muscles stretch and every one can see it when his eye ball go to the external field of movement

for young appearing nystagmus is very normal
