What is the innate nystagmus?

A congenital state is a condition that the suffering is born, or that appears early after birth, and nystagmus is a disorder in which involuntary eye movements occur. The eyes of a person with congenital nystagmus, also known as infantile nystagmus, are most often moving or sometimes jerk, from side to side in an uncontrollable way. In some cases, the eyes move up and down or rotate. Although the condition is usually lifelong, eye movements do not mean that the surroundings are moving and people with innate nystagmusm are usually able to read and live normal lives. Usually the clarity of vision is affected, but this may not be serious enough to prevent a person from driving.

Nystagmus is not always diagnosed immediately, but is obvious during the first six months of life. Although the condition is easily recognized, it can be omitted because new children spend a lot of time to sleep and the eyes may not be open at first for a long time. Nystagmus is only classified as congenital if other causes have been excluded, JAKOs are brain tumors or diseases affecting an optical nerve or retina.

Many people with congenital nystagmus experience what is called a zero point where abnormal eyes move or stop when they look in a certain direction. The zero point can be used when a person with congenital nystagmus reads, because turning the head and eyes in a certain direction can help increase the brightness of vision. Sometimes surgery is performed to treat the disorder and the eye muscles move, so the zero point occurs when the eyes look directly forward.

The degree of eyes and degree of eyes in the congenital nystagm often increases when one has not felt, tired or anxious, or is trying to correct something to something. In some people with congenital nystagm, rocking and trembling, there is a tendency to retreat over time. Nystagmus movements usually decrease when people look close to objects. Eye shutdown reduces abnormal movementsEyes and stop completely during sleep.

In adults, the treatment of congenital nystagma with drugs such as gabapentin, reduce the speed and size of abnormal eye movements and reduce visual damage. In some cases, it may also be useful to wear contact lenses. Surgery is not always beneficial and the risks of anesthesia and possible loss of vision must be considered with chances of improvement.
