| Description |
It is often possible to diagnose the cause of nystagmus through careful history and systematic examination of the patient. History should include duration of nystagmus, whether it interferes with vision and causes oscillopsia, and accompanying neurological symptoms. The physician should also determine if nystagmus and attendant visual symptoms are worse with viewing far or near objects, with patient motion, or with different gaze angles (e.g., worse on right gaze). If the patient habitually tilts or turns the head, the physician should determine whether or not these features are evident on old photographs. |
