Thursday is research news day on Facebook

Every Thursday on our Facebook page we publish the latest news on nystagmus research or publish details of new nystagmus trials that you can take part in.

We are currently supporting these trials:

  • The Southampton University Hospital team need to find people with albinism and nystagmus, aged over 60 so that Mr Jay Self and his colleagues can discover why people with albinism seem to be immune from AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).
  • The Cardiff University team are looking for children with congenital nystagmus aged from 6 months to 10 years, with our without Downs Syndrome, so that they can find out more about how vision develops in young children.
  • The Moorfields/UCL team, under Mr Vijay Taylor, are recruiting adults with congenital ideopathic nystagmus, between the ages of 18 and 50, to investigate the phenomenon known as ‘visual crowding’ associated with nystagmus.

Don’t miss your chance to take part in research and read the latest nystagmus-related news!
