Why do my eyes jerk sometimes when im writing or reading something really small. my ophthalmologist said i dont have nystagmus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The muscles may be strained for such reading and being not used to the activities may fluctuate in contractions for adaptive reading and that is different from nystagmus and what could be causing nystagmus. You may want to combine a magnifier with your prescribed lenses to make it easier for you.
