A new research project is being undertaken at Moorfields Eye Hospital and University College London. The aim of the study is to understand better the visual abilities of people with congenital nystagmus, with a particular focus on visual crowding, a phenomenon which occurs when an object that is visible in isolation becomes impossible to recognise when surrounded by other objects.
The Nystagmus Network is supporting Mr Vijay Tailor, Paediatric Clinical Trials Research Orthoptist and Clinical PhD Training Fellow, to recruit suitable participants.
Subjects should have a formal diagnosis of Congenital Idiopathic Nystagmus and be aged 18 to 50.
People who also have albinism or strabismus amblyopia (‘squint’ or ‘lazy eye’) are not suited to this particular study.
If you have short or long sight, this is not a problem provided you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses to correct this.
