Difficulty Seeing in the Dark
A person with nystagmus may not see well in the dark. This can occur because the person has difficulty focusing due to the constant movement of their eyes, which can become especially pronounced at nighttime or in low-light situations.
When a person's vision is moving constantly, their eyes may not have time to adapt to the low light or darkness properly, which can make it more difficult to see clearly.
