A member asked:
If downbeat nystagmus causes stationary objects to move up/down & back/forth and slide would this be considered oscillopsia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Oscillopsia is The illusion of oscillation of the visual surroundings and is associated with certain neurological processes, most commonly meningitis. Nystagmus is a physical finding on examination. A person with nystagmus from birth would not be aware of oscillopsia whereas someone with acquired nystagmus might.
