The cause of nystagmus in children is congenital cerebral hypoxia. Pediatric nystagmus is a common condition in daily life. In terms of treatment, we generally prefer surgical intervention. Surgical treatment not only allows for rapid recovery but also offers a good prognosis. Through surgery, children's visual development can be significantly improved, thereby enhancing their quality of life.
