A new research project into the eye condition nystagmus has been announced by London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital.
Nystagmus is characterised by involuntary movement of the eyes in any direction, and those with the condition usually have reduced vision. The project will investigate whether or not contact lenses can improve the vision of adults with infantile nystagmus.
The £15,000 project is being bank-rolled by the Nystagmus Network and Fight for Sight, following a charity fund-raising campaign.
Moorfields’ Consultant Ophthalmologist Maria Theodorou will lead the research.
