Nystagmus is a relatively common clinical condition, affecting one in every 5,000 to 10,000 individuals. The cause for pathological nystagmus may be congenital, idiopathic, secondary to a pre-existing neurological disorder or may be induced temporarily by certain drugs (alcohol and other central nervous system depressants and stimulants, such as lithium salts, dilantin and ecstasy). Nystagmus generally causes a degree of vision impairment, although the severity of such impairment varies widely.
Pathological acquired nystagmus is mostly a temporary condition and stops spontaneously. When it is secondary to a neurological disorder, this must be treated accordingly. Congenital nystagmus is usually non-treatable, but several therapeutic approaches, such as contact lenses, drugs, surgery, and low vision rehabilitation can be used in order to improve visual function.
