To mark our 40th anniversary the Nystagmus Network will be holding events, activities, workshops, competitions and celebrations throughout our Ruby Year.
Parents, adults living with congenital nystagmus and adults living with acquired nystagmus are warmly invited to join our monthly online get togethers over Zoom. Share your experiences, hints and tips and nystagmus stories, make new friends and find support in our online community. Each month there will be an ice-breaker and a specially chosen topic.
