Can People with nystagmus see strait?


im curious about this. there are some people in my school that have this condition(its where your eyes move back and forth uncontrolably). can they see just like a regular person or is there vision shaky?
----------

If they have had it since birth then they will not be able to notice their vision shakining - everything will look still to them.

However, if they developed it later in their lives then they are more likely to be aware of their vision shaking  (+ info)

i come to know that his maternal uncle,

Can I wear contact lenses if I have nystagmus?


http://nystagmus.wikispaces.com/
I don't know if I can. I hate wearing glasses and I really want to wear contact lenses. I have nystagmus (there's a link if you want to know about it) and I'm 14. I desperately want them because I really hate glasses.
please help xxx

----------

Yes, in most cases, you can wear contact lenses even if you have nystagmus. As long as there is nothing else wrong with your eyes that would make your eyes unsuitable for contact lenses. Ask your optician or book in for a fitting appointment  (+ info)

Is anyone familiar with latent nystagmus?


my 5 year old has it and I can't get a straight answer on what causes it and if it will go away.

Congential nystagmus:
Rapid, rhythmic oscillation of the eyes; movements may be vertical, horizontal or rotary. It may occur with poor vision or it may be due to a disorder in the brain.

LATENT nystagmus occurs when one eye is covered and rapid, rhythmic oscillation of the uncovered eye occurs. Is he wearing a patch for lazy eye?
