Does anyone out there have congenital nystagmus?

Question

I've had it since birth, i'm curious how it affects your every day life?

Answer 1

Hello, im 23 years old and have congenital Nystagmus.  I have had this condition since birth.  I can read almost any size print mostly up close for newspapers and books and signs up close as well and am able to ride a bike safely.  The biggest challenge I find is that I am unable to drive and am forced to rely on public transit which really limits my lifestyle.  I also get tired more easily and experience complications socially because of sterotypes.  

Please email me if you have any questions,

Darren
