The Nystagmus Network is a registered charity in England and Wales supporting people living with nystagmus. Nystagmus is a complex eye condition, characterised by involuntary movements of the eye. The eyes appear to wobble or flicker from side to side, up and down or round and round. Nystagmus causes impaired vision, affecting the ability to focus, speed and depth perception and facial recognition. At least 1 in 1,000 people are born with nystagmus and many more acquire the condition later in life.
The Nystagmus Network ensures that, following diagnosis, there is somewhere for a family to turn to.
We provide support and assistance to children and young people with Nystagmus. in addition, we offer an advocacy service and free 24/7 support on our website. telephone helpline and e mail facility is also available free of charge.
