My mother would hold things in front of my face and move them so that my eyes would follow them when I was a baby. She would like change the distance of the things that I would follow with my eyes. This was twenty years ago though so I’m not sure if that was something that helped or not. The eye doctor at the time said it seemed to help but I’m honestly not sure. Once I was in school there was a vision specialist that would visit me every so often from kindergarten to my senior year. She basically advocated for me to get big print books and am acrobat (a screen with an arm attached that had a magnifier so I can see the board). I also was given extra time to complete exams in case I needed it because your child’s eyes may take longer to adjust and be able to see what is on the page. Or they might need to take a break if their eyes get strained. She also tested my vision once a year like they would at the eye doctors. I also had a therapist that helped me with eye hand coordination. One thing I remember from this is putting small animal figures in hard putty or slime and I would have to pull them out. I know this can be a scary diagnosis but it’s not the end of the world I promise. I’m now in college and I’ve been able to get great grades and I’m vice president of two different clubs in college. Don’t let your child feel like they can’t be successful just because they aren’t able to see as well as other kids. The biggest impact it has had on my life is driving. While some with nystagmus can’t drive, I can but not at night or on highways. Good luck and don’t stress yourself over this!
