Surgical Treatment of Congenital Nystagmus

Improvement in Visual Acuity Following Surgery for Correction of Head Posture in Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome

“…However, more recent studies report a significant independent neurologic and visual improvement following these surgeries. [23][24][25] In a prospective study by Hertle et al, 26 14 of 15 patients showed an improvement of 0.1 LogMAR or greater in their binocular visual acuity. In another study by the Hertle and Yang, 27 the postoperative visual acuity improved significantly in the group that included patients younger than 8 years compared to those older than 8 years.…”

The Effect of Bilateral Horizontal Rectus Recession on Visual Acuity, Ocular Deviation or Head Posture in Patients with Nystagmus

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Reports on nystagmus surgery to decrease nystagmus amplitude and intensity are limited, and most of these procedures have been performed on patients without head posture. 2,28,29 Large recessions of the horizontal recti for nystagmus was first proposed by Bietti In the present study, 80% of our patients had a sensory etiology for their nystagmus, yet surgery had positive effects on their vision.…”
