Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hello Everybody, My brother is suffering from a rare disease in his Eyes which is known as Nystagmus. The characteristics of the disease are: DESCRIPTION: Involuntary, rhythmical, repeated oscillations of one or both eyes, in any or all fields of gaze; may be pendular (with undulating movements of equal speed, amplitude, and duration, in each direction) or jerky (with slower movements in one direction, followed by a faster return to the original position). Movements may be horizontal, vertical, oblique, rotary, circular, or any combination of these. Generally, the faster the rate, the smaller the amplitude (and vice versa). The defect is classified according to the position of the eyes when it occurs. The cause of nystagmus is unknown. Reduced acuity is caused by the inability to maintain steady fixation. Head-tilting may decrease the nystagmus and is usually involuntary (toward the fast component in jerky nystagmus, or in such a position to minimize pendular nystagmus). Head nodding often accompanies congenital nystagmus. Nystagmus may be induced with an optokinetic drum or through the stimulation of the semicircular canals. Congenital nystagmus of the pendular type usually accompanies congenital visual impairment (e.g., corneal opacity, cataract, albinism, aniridia, optic atrophy, chorioretinitis). Nystagmus may also accompany a number of neurological disorders, and may be a reaction to certain drugs (including barbiturates). This is for your kind information regarding Nystagmus so that u can understand the problem better. He has been suffering with this disease since he was born and is now 10 years. Though there has been a slight improvement but it is not markable. Though Science has evolved till now they say there is no cure for this problem. but due to my strong belief in the Ancient Science I have come to you people for help and I have a firm belief that there certainly will be a cure for it. So looking forward for a quick and immediate reply so as to heal him completely and completely kill the issue. Yours Lovingly, Sai Abhishek.
