Nystagmus
Definition: Nystagmus is a complex eye condition, characterised by involuntary eye movements, from side to side, up and down or round and round. This affects the ability to focus, see the world in three dimensions and recognise faces. There are two main types of nystagmus, one which appears in the first weeks or months of life and is called Congenital or Infantile Nystagmus and another which develops later in life which is called Acquired Nystagmus. There are many possible causes of both kinds of nystagmus.
