Are there any corrective procedures, besides glasses, for people born with nystagmus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nystagmus: The treatment should begin with correction of any refractive error. Amblyopia should be addressed as well. Other treatments include using gabapentin or baclofen. Better results with patients born with nystagmus. Contact lenses also can improve results.
