Do any fellow members suffer from nystagmus? I acquired mine after a stroke, and I am curios if others do and how they deal with it.
 
I had to look that up, I think Jared Polin may suffer from it. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I wanted you to at least have a reply.
 
I had to look it up too - it sounds horrid. Best of luck.

To save a bunch of people looking it up -
Nystagmus is a rhythmical, repetitive and involuntary movement of the eyes. It is usually from side to side, but sometimes up and down or in a circular motion. Both eyes can move together or independently of each other. A person with nystagmus has no control over this movement of the eyes.

I've had it and was lucky enough to have it clear. Mine came on after a head impact which caused a bout of vertigo.
I was in hospital for four days as the vertigo left me unable to balance, and the Nystagmus made my vision feel like the vertical hold had gone on my eyesight.
Had various versions of the Epley manoeuvre performed on me, none of which helped, but it gradually subsided over a 2 week period.
I feel for you!
