THANK YOU. Nystagmus is a form of visual impairment, characterised by wobbling or flickering of the eyes, from side to side, up and down or round and round. This affects the ability to focus, judge speed and depth and recognise faces. The Nystagmus Network is a registered charity in England and Wales. The charity provides advice, support and information to everyone living with nystagmus and their families, an educational advocacy service and benefits advice, training for teaching staff and eye care professionals. There are local and virtual support groups for people living with congenital and acquired nystagmus, an annual open day each autumn and a national and international Nystagmus Awareness Day on 20 June. We run an information support line, answer enquiries by email and on social media and offer a range of free to download documents for parents and adults, teachers and clinic staff. We hold national and international Nystagmus Awareness Day on 20 June each year and work tirelessly to raise awareness of the condition every single day of the year. We work closely with the UK nystagmus research centres of excellence, host an annual UK research workshop and have been funding research into better diagnostics and potential treatments since 1984.Read More
