Different types of nystagmus are indicators of certain underlying conditions, so checking for nystagmus is often one of the first tests a doctor may perform when trying to make a diagnosis.
If you're currently experiencing dizziness or vertigo and looking for more information, try this test first, and then check out the rest of our playlist for more tests plus different maneuevers that can actually cure certain types of vertigo!

Sometimes when I’m very focused on something my eye shake left to right really quickly and then goes back to normal
Same happens to me. Especially during lectures
same
Same
I have it rn
Idk if have to get surgery:(
When I was younger, my eyes randomly went ballistic sometimes and I loved it for some reason. Now I can do it on command
you and my son are both weird af.....lol. He does it as well and its freaky. When I have him move his eyes tho they shake like crazy but they do it on their own during that.
Dang me too, i can still do it becuz i did it a lot when i was younger lol
Pics and videos REALLY help terminology stick for me. Thanks
Does our new EyeStabilizer Software help? Thank you!
My eyes move left and right very quickly and everyone says it’s like I’m shaking them
YO I HAVE THAT IF U LOOK AT SOMETHING REALLY FAST U CAN SLOW DOWN MOVEMENTS AND MY FREINDS SAY THAT MY EYES MOVE LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED SLOWING DOWN MOVEMENTS IS WHEN SOME KICK A BALL AT ME AND I DID THAT ON ACCIEDENT AND I SAW THE BALL MOVING SLOWLY AND I DOGED IT
Damon Franklin my eyes do this thing like they’re lagging 💀it happens like once a month and lasts literally a second

@@alexr3475 I can do it on purpose for as long as I like its really cool
@@pinelopimarini4193 WHAT HOW ?
Haki
It happens to me when my head is in a specific angle
Like when I tilt my head down slightly to the left when I'm writing
JiminLost HisJams me too
same here, so when i was a kid i always tilted my head to the right... my parents thought it was a fault in the neck but turns out i just wanted to see the world 😆
Hello! What was the reason for your nystagmus as a child? My daughter currently has it.
@@kathvillamala7416
Hello! I'm not sure what could've caused my nystagmus. I've learnt that nystagmus could be caused by an inflammation in the inner ear. My parents told me that when I was a baby I had inflammation in my inner ear and I got it fully treated. The first time I experienced nystagmus was at the age of 6-7 years, ever since then, it had stopped. But it appeared once again about a year ago and it rarely happens. (I'm currently 11). Ever since it happened again to me, I noticed that it was mainly caused by my head being in a specific angle. But the first time I experienced nystagmus, it wasn't because of my head being in a specific angle. It usually doesn't happens to me unless my head meets at that specific angle
Do you feel vertigo too
When I'm drawing my eyes dart to the right very quickly then to back to normal but it's blurry so I have to blink. Then I'm fine, but it happens like once every 2 minutes so I gave up drawing.. 😐
Mine shake like crazy for a second, sometimes for a few and then stop. I can’t see anything when it happens to it also really frustrates me when I draw too. Don’t give up! You can do it, it’s just harder
same but mine doesnt happen after every 2 mins it actually does only once in a while like once a week sometimes or once a few days or even once a few months idk
my eyes go side to side really fast whenever I'm really focused on something like doing my nails or a test🤚🏽
@@raestv4755 did you ever look into why? I’m the same
a few weeks ago during school in the morning i was noticing that my eyes were moving up and down really fast and i couldn't really see anything, everything was kinda blurry, though when i foccused i could stop it for a moment and then it started again, after a few minutes it went away, i think i had that about 4 times in total, felt really weird
Yh, same here when i try to focus my eyes suddenly shake and everything goes blurry but then it stops. and it keeps happening. But Nystagmus is consistent i believe and i cant find anything else on what it might be.
@@nayeli6519 go to a doctor don't look stuff up yourself
@@GardenNomme Oh thank you very much but it is kinda hard now because of COVID 19 that's why I've been searching it up. But yh I will definitely go once things settle down
@@nayeli6519 nystagmus is not constant. Look how he tests for it in this video. It was constant he wouldn't have to test for it. He would just look at the person's face
@@brendalg4 🤣🤣🤣 that's what I thought too. I mean later on 😂😂
In quarantine, I'm on screen for 10 hours straight for 2 months and now I'm experiencing it whenever I'm on the screen.
next comes the clots in your legs, they'll be getting ready for an adventure around your body.
@@aberdeencentre4933 what does tha mean and how can it be interlinked with the eye problem???
" I'm on screen for 10 hours straight for 2 months "
@@aberdeencentre4933 so you mean spending 10hrs on screen everyday will lead to clots in the legs??
@@AntarikshRajkonwar if you're sitting around spending 10 hours straight on screen, yes you will develop clots
All my life my eyes have always twitched. But they were never blurry. They just made it so things went weird. They twitched up and down, diagonally, side to side and it was so annoying. I’m not sure if I have Nystagmus or Opsoclonus Myclonus? When I look at something for 2 seconds they start to twitch. If I keep moving my eyes then they won’t twitch though
SAME WTFF
It only happens sometimes for me but I can also control it
I'm not sure if I have it or not. I mean most likely not but it only happens when I'm leaning forward or bending over. I most up or down to fast and immediately it feels like ym world is shaking. I lean forward when I draw so it's very obvious when you all of a sudden have your eyes shake back and fourth and you can't see anything but a blur. I'm really into writing about medical stuff so maybe I can write about this at some point and research it more.
Be nice to see it on a person
I have it
Me too
Look up molly burke on youtube she has it
@@dannyr9119 or watch the mentalist season 3 Pruitt Taylor Vince has it. The cop investigator
I'm gonna assume this is what he meant by "rotating" but sometimes my eyes feel like they're rolling in the socket. Like, the pupils and all look normal but it genuinely feels like my eyes are rolling or rotating around.
I have the same and its happening with every pulse of my heart.
I just got back from the neurologist this afternoon. She tested me by using her finger and making my eyes follow it. She said my eyes mildly "jerk" therefore, suggesting I may have "crystals" with vestibular imbalance. but the most interesting thing is that before my dizzy patterns began, I was having a two month "eye twitch" just after having a sore throat virus and conjunctivitis..
Virus like a cold can cause ear problems like Vestibular neuritis vs. labyrinthitis. But BBPV is different and the crystals get dislodged which creates vertigo w certain head movements. A physical therapist or ENT or you if you learn can reset them w certain kinds of head sequencing mvmts.
When people ask how you see the world, how do you guys usually respond? I really have trouble describing it. 😅
Oh man me too. Someone asks me and i have no idea how to respond.
I say it’s like a roller coaster because everything vibrates but not as fun
Me too
Hey guys how many times in a day do you all get your mild, moderate or severe vertigo attack. Please tell which three of these you get and how many times
um i have it where i can do it on purpose and stop when i want to just say its like an earthquake but like faster back and forth
I don't know exactly if I have this but when I move my head to the side to pause something on my TV my vision would shake and I would get lightheaded
Also, this started happening recently
@DigitalDino I have had that for twenty years. Nothing to worry about. I just got used to it.
@@FreddieFraggs I'm sorry to hear about that, it turns out that I was just sick for about a week
@@digitaldino8699 Thanks. It is good you are OK now. 👍
Is voluntary Nystagmus associated with vertigo? I don't think I have it involuntarily, but I do have vertigo.
Omg me too
Yes, it’s called Benign Posterior Vertigo. Your crystals in ear got dislodged , pls see ENT or physical therapist who specializes in Vestibular issues
It happens to me once in every day or two. My eyes starts to move from side to side really fast. Even though it lasts for like 2-3 secs I can't see anything and start feeling dizzy. I don't know what to do can someone help me
Go to your ENT.. Process of treatment is really good and non invasive
Do you have Ms in your family?
Did you ever get an answer?
My involuntary eye movements are all over. Up. down. left. right. top left. top right. bottom left. And bottom right. Along with a single continuous headache that will have lasted two years this April.
This must be such a struggle for you🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜
@Michael It sure is! I am having two Occipital nerve blocks in a few days. (Injections into the back of my head) to see if helps my headpain. The majority of people only have one at a time every few months. I am having mine twice at a time every few months. I am hoping it helps.
I had this in my late teens/ early twenties. Ended up diagnosed with Ms in my early thirties....
Nystagmus can be a presenting sign of MS.
I have done this since I was younger, like a kid young and I still do it every once in a while; actually yesterday. I’m 35 and haven’t been diagnosed with anything.
@@autumn9888 I believe it's something you can be born with as well. Mine was due to lesions from the Ms.
I also have this along with my MS. Sucks
Omg my GP said that I need to get an MRI to rule out MS since it keeps happening to me all the time but disappears magically sometimes...I’m low key scared now 😰
When im drawining sometimes my eyes starts moving side to side rapidly for like 2 sec and then stops and starts moving again and stops, it just feels weird.
But it freaks people out
I was told I developed it while in the womb. I hate it. Hard to focus
What does “ weak mixture of left beating and up beating nystagmus one head right position?” Got my report but dr won’t tell me anything for 3 weeks. Ugh
This happens to me sometimes but lasts only a second.

@@yasmenyaso7299 sorry i dont speak enchantment table
I mean, the same thing happens to me and it only lasts a second like yours. Did you know why?
@@yasmenyaso7299 Ah. No not really, thought it is most likely due to not getting enough sleep
@@yasmenyaso7299 أنا أيضا لول
When i look at words in a book or worksheet closely and focus, my vision will be vibrating left and right quickly until i move my eyes further away from the words (sometimes when i focus on objects/buildings/cars etc it’s like that as well).Also when i wake up my eyes feels kinda funny for a feel seconds before being normal again. it’s kinda scary as it’s been like that for about a year now and i read only 1 in a million people have nystagmus
Fake break from devices also BBPV can cause nystagmus
Take break
I don't know how to describe my vision, its kinda like shaking but its not, its like, idk i can get that type of vision when i want, like twinkling? It doesn't give me any headaches but Still i don't know how to say it
I am experiencing the same symptoms I dont know what it is
I have been diagnosed with this since i was a kid.
Did it ever get in the way of you doing anything?
Is it bad living with it?
I'm not diagnosed but my eyes does the vertical one where it quickly rolls up(like a very quick eye roll and it does get disorienting specially when I'm focused and drawing (I'm an artist)) and my eyes can't stay lookin at one place without slightly movin back and forth if I'm lookin at somethin, then sometimes I lose focus and blank out when reading and I have to force my eyes to refocus on the text and unblur
OKAY THIS IS ME
So I’ve the past two years I’ll get these random episodes where my eyes will move in a similar way to when you’re spinning in a circle then stop & your eyes keep jumping back & forth. It lasts no longer than a minute & a half with periodic breaks during that time. I have also had chronic migraines since I was six years old so I really have no idea what it is. Mentioned it to my doctor & they didn’t pursue the issue.
dang i want to see you with my own eyes.
Please see an ENT doctor, what you describe is vestibular migraines, it’s vertigo with migraines and also a BPV, known as benign posterior vertigo. Both are Separate issues, but you can have both. Benign posterior vertigo is dizziness that only lasts about a minute and then it goes away and it only happens when your head turns a certain direction you also get nystagmus during the episode. You have to get your crystals in your ears reset.
I was diagnosed with some eye condition a when I was very young (like 6 or 7) and i'm pretty sure this is what I have. I can control it, in a way but if feels strange when I do. Like my eyes start to feel tight, and my the area around my eyes feel the same. I am also quite sensitive to flashing lights.
Oh my god thats exactly what i have- my mother thought i was faking it and told me to stop it but I couldn't or it would hurt so much and I would cry.
Same with me!
@@macaronii8318 I used to have complete control over it when I wore my glasses but they are broken now and I have none :(
@@sleepyzzzz_ you cured your self
Can I ask y’all, I just seen my 4 year old doing this, he’s also making some throat clearing sound constantly. Do y’all have any type of known TICs?
What is the treatment? I face it on daily basis.
Do the patients see the image shake or does the brain correct it?
Any treatment is available then plz tell me
Who do I see for this
I have been waking up every day with trembling vision, and it is notorious when I look at white surfaces. After a few minutes the vision is better and it's not shaking. I went to the ophthalmologist and he prescribed me a magnesium food supplement to take for 1 month, however, I did not notice any differences. Can I have a serious illness? Could it be cancer?
The last one is when you're so drunk you feel the room spinning and going back and forth. 😵💫🤤
i have episodes where my eyes move up as if their rolling into the back of my head, and sometimes it’s not even a constant up and down motion. it’s just they roll up and it’s like i’m stuck looking up. eventually it gets so bad my head moves back with my eyes. lasts for about 5-10 minutes. i have no idea what it is.
My left eye vision seems to have rotational jitter, are these a nystagmus too?
Well illustrated thank you..
i have a vertical nystagmus, what does this mean?
I have control over my eyes but if I don’t move them to both sides they start to feel strained and tight I guess I don’t really know how to explain it. Is anyone else experiencing this???
It happens with both eyes? I started having a shaky eye, my right eye, when I tried to focus to read or see something o feel like it can't focus or my vision is shaking. I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist in August but all this week my eye has been acting a lot. I am scared
i have the vertical nystagmus,if my eyes go up absurdly, what should i respond?
What is nystagmus belaterial plz tell me I got point in airforce medical
I have to be my own doctor because I have constant dizziness, MRI and blood tests seem ok then doctors say that I’m fine but I’ve never had these tests in the first place. I hate doctors. If I studied medicine I’d make sure my patients have a proper diagnosis because I know there’s something wrong and I know it’s not anxiety 😒
Have you ever had a brain injury? I have something similar that went undiagnosed for 7 yrs and also was misdiagnosed as anxiety, it was caused by a concussion as a child - this kind of eye dancing can also be caused by brain trauma. I’m not sure of your history obviously but if you have experienced anything like that it may be a place to start :) I’m sorry man I know how much it sucks
Same here my friend... Got all the Tests done and I am super fit as per doctors but have been facing dizziness. Good time is when I lie down and with eyes closed.
Sometimes my eyes start shaking randomly
Okay I thought I was the only one with eye seizures they freak me out sometimes
What kind of doctor treats this
I have nystagmus and people say it's very noticeable.

Hi what's about becoming a doctor or any services with nystagmus
I am able to do it on purpose its relly funny scaring my friends away with it :)
You better get checked. I have read that it is something that you cannot fake. You probably just know how to trigger yours. It can be a symptom of diseases such as multiple sclerosis
@@brendalg4 thank you for the advice but I think I am ok:)
@@pinelopimarini4193 I know how to trigger it too. But there is something wrong with me. It is because I have vertigo or because I have Chiari malformation. Just because you know how to trigger something doesn't mean it's not important.

im 11, and my eyes started rolling ever since i went to the doctor one day and they went into my ear to clear it, idk if it was deep cleaning but it started to hurt. a lot. after 1 or 2 months i started to realize i kept rolling my eyes.i thought "maybe its just because im always on my screens" thats what my dad thought too. i have anxiety and im really scared about this. i feel like i have nystagmus for sure and thats why i quit my dream to become a professional football player. is it possible for nystagmus to go away? and if so, how long would it take?

@@firestyt3440 I know how scarey it can be when something weird is happening to your eye sight. You think.....crap! I can't do my homework or even go for a walk.

I went to see the optometrist and found out that the retina was okay and it was probably from stress. I would definitely see an optometrist if I were you. Eyes are their specialty.

Treatment for nystagmus
There isn’t really a treatment... although, there is lasik or you can get glasses.
Although a symptom of the eyes, nystagmus occurs as a symptom from diseases affecting areas in our body that control balance.
They can be diseases of the inner ear or diseases of the nervous system.
It can present alongside other symptoms, such as vertigo, loss of balance and falls, diminished hearing and others.
Also there are different types of nystagmus, each with unique characteristics.
Taking all those symptoms into account one should see either an ENT or a neurologist.
Lasik or glasses will not treat it (although there is a slight nystagmus in myopia sometimes, but, it is mostly a manifestation of the diseases mentioned above).
@@daflopster6289 people need to stop posting on here that there isn't a treatment. It depends on the cause. I am being treated for it right now
I thought epleys can treat this
@@brendalg4 what treatment did you get?
Am I the only one who can hear that high pitched sound?
i don't know if i have nystagmus but my eyeglass lens grade is 50 (L) and 250 (R), when I look at a certain thing for like 10-15 seconds, my left eye is stable but my right eye moves going to right and then when i blink it goes back.
Edit: saw a video with the same thing that is happening to me, it says it's esotropia strabismus, here ua-cam.com/video/4ciJroBakcs/v-deo.html
Fuck my eyes
👏👏👏🏼🤯
its caused by calcifications due to diet and lifestyle, you should go see a naturopath
It's a neurological thing, it can't be cured, folk can have an operation to help the squinting and correct the head tilt but diet certainly can't cure it.
@@kareenfraser5352 it depends on what the cause is.
