Symptom #9: Nystagmus
Nystagmus is a term describing involuntary eye movement that can lead to limited or reduced vision. Nystagmus can be generally divided into physiological or pathological nystagmus. Some conditions that can cause nystagmus include sleep deprivation, congenital disorders, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, or central nervous system conditions such as a stroke.
Among elderly patients, the commonest cause of nystagmus has been attributed to a stroke. Although nystagmus is very noticeable, it is rarely recognized. The eye movements can be recorded and quantified using an electronystagmography.
