Can Congenital Nystagmus Be Cured Permanently?
Hi, My Son 10 months old diagnosed with congenital nystagmus, and after complete eye check up he has -2.25 cylindrical on both eyes.Does it relate with nystagmus ?My pediatric ophthalmologist suggest me to wear glasses immediately and after one month if there is improvement in his eyes (Nystagmus) then its fine otherwise we need to rule out other cause of nystagmus by going through MRi scan for cause of nystagmus.Will his power going to increase as he gets older? is it a serious problem for his vision or development of his brain ? or IQ?will he lead a normal vision life?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
Yes your ophthalmologist is right in his advice.
You need to get evaluation if the correction by spectacles fail to improve nystagmus. Most of the tines congenital nystagmus is because of vision related problem but it does require evaluation if it does not get improved.
Thank you
