Dr. Zhang Weiling
Infantile nystagmus generally does not resolve spontaneously. Nystagmus is a congenital condition characterized by involuntary, rhythmic oscillations of the eyes and typically does not resolve on its own. Once observed, it is essential to promptly take the infant to a reputable local pediatric hospital for a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination to determine the underlying cause and initiate targeted treatment.
