눈떨림의 수술적치료

Surgical Treatment of Nystagmus

Surgery is the one of the option of treatment of nystagmus. When it comes to the patients with abnormal head posture including head turn, chin-up, chin-down and head tilt, we could consider the repositioning of the extraocular muscles into null point. In the patients without abnormal head posture, four-muscle recession or tenotomy could be considered. The surgical treatment of nystagmus may not only reduce the amplitude of nystagmus but also improve visual acuity.
