Living With Nystagmus Can Make Vision Unstable

Nystagmus causes involuntary eye movements that can affect how clearly you see.

Many patients rely on glasses or contacts, but still experience:

• Blurred vision
• Difficulty focusing
• Visual fatigue

What If Vision Could Be Made Clearer?

While LASEK does not treat nystagmus directly, it may help improve how light focuses in the eye.

For some patients, reducing refractive error can lead to:

• Sharper visual clarity
• Less strain when focusing
• Improved overall visual experience

A Non-Cutting Vision Correction Option

LASEK reshapes the surface of the eye to improve how light is focused.

Because it does not involve creating a flap or placing anything inside the eye, it may be a suitable option for certain patients with nystagmus.
