Acquired Nystagmus: A less common cause of nystagmus is disease or injury of the central nervous system. The most common cause of acquired nystagmus is head injury from motor vehicle accidents in young people. In older people the most common cause is stroke (blood vessel blockage in the brain). Any disease of the brain (such as multiple sclerosis or brain tumors) can cause nystagmus if the areas controlling eye movements are damaged. Because control of eye movements is affected by input from the labyrinth (the part of the inner ear that senses movement and position), inner ear disorders (such as Meniere's disease) can also lead to acquired nystagmus. Other causes include Dilantin (an antiseizure medication), toxicity, and
alcohol intoxication.
Im not the accident or the alcohol , feel terrible cos the specialist kept saying I dont think its anythng serious but we need to keep and eye on this , and that was before the jumping eye symptom.
shaking and cant stop .
