Nystagmus Information Packs

These Nystagmus Information Packs are aimed at patients with nystagmus, families, teachers, other professionals, and people who would like to find out more about nystagmus. The documents seek to provide better information for people to explain nystagmus and their vision to others. These University of Sheffield in the UK developed these Nystagmus Information Packs. As such, some of the information about schools and driving is not applicable to the US, but the majority of the information is useful.
