“…Great care and repeated measurements should therefore be taken when attempting to establish a 'genuine' nystagmus intensity. This is particularly important when evaluating the success or failure of techniques that can control nystagmus intensity Ciuffreda et al, 1982;Mallett, 1983;Dickinson, 1986).…”

Using infra-red oculography, electro-oculography and fundus video-recordings, waveform characteristics (amplitude, frequency, waveform shape and foveation) were examined in over 150 individuals with congenital nystagmus. For many of the subjects the nystagmus exhibited marked variability in both space and time. The sources of this variability were explored and the state of attention of the observer was found to be a dominant factor. The waveform and precision of foveation were not found to be related to any one classification group (eg. albino or idiopathic).

“…6,11,16 In addition, there has been suggestions of auditory or visual biofeedback training to help controlling nystagmus. [17][18][19] The idea is to help the patients to realise when they have nystagmus and get them to make a conscious effort to control it. 17,19 However, the benefit of this strategy is questionable for the acquired conditions, as these patients are often already aware of nystagmus due to oscillopsia.…”

Optical Management Using Monovision and Yoked Prism for Acquired Strabismus and Nystagmus Secondary to a Neurodegenerative Disease

Acquired involuntary eye movement disorders, including noncomitant strabismus, nystagmus, and saccadic dyskinesia, are common ocular manifestations of many neurodegenerative diseases. These patients may experience visual symptoms, such as blurred vision, diplopia, and oscillopsia, which can significantly impact their use of vision. The goal of the management for these patients is to reduce the visual symptoms using any combination of available management strategies. This case report discusses the effective optical management using the combination of spectacle monovision correction and yoked prism to improve visual symptoms in a patient with olivopontocerebellar atrophy.

“…As the purpose of this article is to provide clinically applicable information regarding management of these conditions, more experimental approaches, such as biofeedback 4,57,58 and acupuncture 59,60 will not be discussed here. Major interventions in these conditions include a range of surgeries on the extraocular muscles; for example, the Anderson-Kestenbaum recession and resection to reposition the eyes in the orbit, artificial divergence surgery to make use of a convergence null for distance viewing, large recessions of all four horizontal rectus muscles, tenotomy of these same muscles and combinations of several of these.…”

“…The primary emphasis will be a review of the congenital forms of nystagmus, as here optometric practitioners can play an important role in patient management, as they long have in nystagmus research. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Features that identify nystagmus as congenital (or infantile) will be stressed, so that appropriate referral may be made of those patients whose nystagmus may be acquired in nature. The emphasis will be on what can be learned by clinical examination and, most importantly, listening to the patient or, for children, their parents.…”

Infantile nystagmus: current concepts in diagnosis and management

This review examines current approaches to the diagnosis and management of congenital forms of nystagmus. Emphasis is placed on diagnostic features that are amenable to clinical identification but those issues that can be addressed only with more detailed investigations, such as eye movement recording, are indicated. Non-surgical management, including prism spectacles, contact lenses and vision therapy, is discussed, as are surgical approaches. Because many aspects of congenital forms of nystagmus, particularly as experienced by patients with the condition in their normal lives, are poorly addressed in both the clinical and research literature, these limitations are also highlighted.
