Patient's question:
The baby has nystagmus, the eyes sway frequently left and right. The child is almost 4 months old, and the eyes have been swaying frequently left and right. However, there was no such phenomenon in the two months before birth. I went to the county hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was nystagmus. If it is indeed nystagmus, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Eye movement is an involuntary rhythmic movement of the eyes, including: nystagmus due to insufficient perception, nystagmus due to insufficient movement, and concealed nystagmus. It is recommended to visit a hospital for: Frenzel glasses examination, visual inspection, and nystagmus examination. You can take traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the liver and kidneys, activate blood circulation, and unblock collaterals. Standard refraction should be performed, and cycloplegic refraction may be necessary if needed, and refractive errors should be corrected as soon as possible. Surgical treatment may be required if necessary.
