How nystagmus improves vision

Nystagmus is an involuntary, rhythmic, oscillating eye movement that can be treated with glasses or contact lenses, vision training, surgery, etc.

1. Wearing glasses or contact lenses

For some types of nystagmus, wearing appropriate glasses or contact lenses can help improve vision. These glasses or contact lenses can correct refractive errors and reduce the effects of nystagmus on vision.

2. Vision training

Some vision training methods, such as visual tracking exercises and fixation stabilization exercises, can help improve eye control and visual attention, thus improving vision. These exercises need to be performed under the guidance of a professional.

3. Surgical treatment

In some cases, surgery may be an effective method to treat nystagmus and improve vision. Surgery can adjust the position or tension of eye muscles, reducing the amplitude and frequency of nystagmus, thereby improving vision.
