The effectiveness of surgery for congenital nystagmus

J Whittle. Eye (Lond). 1999.

Abstract

Many individuals with CN cope remarkably well. With several different surgical approaches available, there needs to be reasonable certainty that a chosen treatment is the best for an individual patient. It is hoped that continued research into the mechanisms underlying CN will deliver a deeper understanding of exactly how extraocular surgery brings about an improvement in some cases while still being less than perfectly reliable in others.
