Patient's question:
AgeDetailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Congenital nystagmus of the eye pillow. It is necessary to focus at the corner of the eye to see clearly. I don't know where I can be treated for this eye disease. Is there a relatively successful method currently?
Current general condition: Normal intelligence. It is difficult to see with the corner of the eye, but it can be seen clearly.
History of diagnosis and treatment, as well as effectiveness: Confirmed nystagmus, but there is no good treatment method.
Doctor's answer:
Most people with nystagmus have poor vision (below 0.1, and often suffer from amblyopia). As vision improves, the nystagmus decreases. Generally speaking, when vision reaches 0.3 or higher, the nystagmus significantly reduces, and when it reaches 0.5 or higher, the nystagmus almost disappears. However, there are a small number of patients (about 10%) who still have significant nystagmus even with relatively good vision (above 0.5). This type of nystagmus is caused by neurological issues and cannot be cured. Additionally, nystagmus is divided into horizontal and vertical types, and there are cases where both horizontal and vertical nystagmus coexist, though horizontal nystagmus is more common. In summary, most nystagmus caused by severe amblyopia disappears as the amblyopia heals and vision improves. Traditional Chinese medicine's meridian-guided method is very effective in treating vision loss caused by various eye conditions and in restoring and improving vision.
