Hi doctor,
I am blind in my left eye, and I have nystagmus in my right eye. What are the options for nystagmus?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- There are multiple options available for nystagmus like medicine, surgery, etc. Nystagmus is usually bilateral, there are only few nystagmus that affects a single eye.
- The treatment depends on the type of nystagmus. Kindly share a video of your eye movement, so that I may assess the type of nystagmus and guide you better.
Regards.

Thank you doctor,
I do not want surgery or any prism glasses. I do not see double. It is just a movement I cannot control. Can you suggest some medicines. I have attached a video of my eye movement.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- There is no medicine which can cure nystagmus for sure. Medicines are effective in some special types of nystagmus and in those types also, it does not cure them.
- These medicines have their own side effects. I viewed the video (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and in your form of nystagmus, I am sorry, medicines have no role.
- You may try contact lens to decrease the frequency of nystagmus but other than that there is no permanent cure.
I hope this will helps. Regards.
