    What is Nystagmus?

    Understanding About
    Nystagmus

    Nystagmus refers to rhythmic, involuntary movements of the eyes, characterized by rapid oscillations that can be slow, fast, or a combination of both. These movements can be continuous or occur in episodes triggered by certain positions or movements. They differ from quick, involuntary eye movements like saccades. 

    Nystagmus can impair vision, depth perception, balance, and coordination and may indicate underlying pathology. It can manifest as a transient condition or persistently, and it can be classified as manifest (always present), latent (occurring when one eye is covered), or both. 

    The Bárány Society established classifications for clinical and research purposes, focusing on a standardized language for vestibular disorders worldwide. Pathologic nystagmus can result from various conditions affecting different parts of the brain and peripheral vestibular system.
