Does A Person Diagnosed With Nystagmus Suffer From Neurological Disorders?

Hi, I have a 22 year old friend suffering from congenital nystagmus. Currently her eye power is +3, both eyes. Both her parents do not suffer from nystagmus and she leads a daily standard routine life. I would like to know two things: a) Does a person diagnosed with nystagmus necessarily suffer from neurological disorder(s)? b) What are the chances of her offsprings to suffer from the same? Thanks, Arnjnk,nd.
