A member asked:
Docs, could a nystagmus be caused by your head shaking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are a number of causes of shaking head including Parkinson's and a number of items termed essential tremor. The eye motion mechanism will stabilize the vision so nystagmus will not occur and the work will not appear to be shaking with these conditions.
