Nystagmus and Functional Vision

How do I know how much I, or my child, will be able to see with nystagmus? This presentation covers some of the latest findings on how nystagmus affects reading, and what we can do to make reading easier. Other functional aspects of vision with nystagmus are covered as well, including posture, judging distance, and emotional recognition. The presenter is Dr. Frank Proudlock, from the University of Leicester in the UK. The presentation was given at the 2019 ANN conference.
