I've nystagmus since i was born i'm17 my seeing capacity getting worse year by year most doctors're saying there's no cure for that what should i do?

Difficult problem: Nystagmus produces an unstable image and so the acuity diminishes. It is a defect in the eye coordination centers of the brain, but can also be related to some conditiions like albinism and optic nerve deficits. The condition is permanent although some drugs can modify it .Also if there is a sweet spot outside of the center, surgery can move the eyes to lessen the impact. Ask your ophthalmologi
