could you please confirm whether the above eye drops will help in gaining good eye sight and provide tour suggestions for a nystagmus person.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There has been some suggestion in medical research that the above mentioned medicine especially Brinzolamide when applied topicaly as eye drops has some good effect on infantile nystagmus.

A strong research is lacking. Therefore nothing can be suggested with gaurantee.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
It will only improve the vision to some extent

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

The research has been on few participants only and some case reports. The link to researches is as follows:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/0000
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/0000
https://www.aao.org/editors-choice/brinzolamide-eye-drops-show-promise-infantile-nyst

Dose suggested in one drop in each eye 3 times a day. I do not think it will "cure" the nystagmus. It will only improve the vision to some extent.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
