How to examine nystagmus

For the examination of nystagmus, a detailed patient history is first obtained, along with observation of eye movements. Specialized ophthalmic equipment such as a slit-lamp microscope is used to carefully examine the eyes and detect any signs of nystagmus. Additionally, tests such as visual acuity assessment and fundoscopic examination may be performed to rule out other potential conditions. By integrating the results of these examinations with the patient's symptoms, an accurate diagnosis can be made.
