Abstract

Due to its complex etiology and influence on visual function, nystagmus is a complex oculomotor illness that poses a considerable challenge to clinicians and researchers alike. Nystagmus is characterized by involuntary rhythmic eye movements. An extensive summary of the several types of nystagmus, both acquired and congenital, will be given in this article. By providing a thorough analysis of nystagmus, this review helps researchers, doctors, and other healthcare professionals gain a deeper knowledge of the condition and work together to address its complex oculomotor disorders.
