I was just dignoised with nystagmus that I have never had. But in December I had gotten blocked tear ducts from fumes of plastic at work that had toulene in it. My balance has been off scenes January and the eye injury happened in Dec I went and had MRI everything good a lot oof white matter but nothing to worry about.

I go back to eye Dr wed.. Because my bificoles I can Yardley see thru and these glasses are six months old. Could I have done damage because of the chemicals.
