Or does their brain supress the automatic movement?
In: Biology
I’ve had nystagmus since birth. I never see things moving unless I’m extremely tired, to the point of being ready to fall over with exhaustion. Even then, it’s more that I notice my eyes moving and not the object I’m looking at.
It must be that my brain filters out any shaking or movement. The result of it is that I can’t see clearly objects and people at a distance, and it can take me longer than normal to notice moving objects. It’s not safe for me to drive for those reasons. I did try to learn but I gave up when I realised how dangerous a driver I was.
I think it’s different for people who get nystagmus later in life. Anything I have read about that suggests that they can have major difficulties.
