What to do if i have horizontal nystagmus can i use contact lens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but : If you have a refractive error and eyeglasses can improve your vision, then a contact lens of the correct power can improve the vision to the same degree. You will not see better than eyeglasses give you especially if the vision is lowered due to the nystagmus.
