Can an albino person with nystagmus have laser eye surgery or lasik?Aleida
Can someone tell me more about nystagmus and how it can be treated? Can a near-sighted person with nystagmus undergo laser surgery? Thanks!

Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for nystagmus. If you are albino, the albinism is causing your reduced vision, not the nystagmus.LASIK is a substitute for glasses. Since glasses don't correct nystagmus LASIK won't either.The movement of the eye will make it very difficult for the laser surgery to work properly and I doubt if any surgeon would agree to do it.

Please don't get medical advice from websites like this, many surgeons will offer free consultations on procedures like this. I have albinism, nystagmus, and need glasses, all of which are commonly linked. There is a surgical procedure called nystagmus dampening which helped me, but ask a doctor. Report Abuse
