Suggest Treatment For Nystagmus In A Child

My 7 year old son occasionally appears to be (in my words) stretching his eyes by moving them to the left or right. When I ask him about it he says there isn t an issue. Seems to be more pronounced after playing on the computer for an extended manner of time.

Hello thank you for writing us here.
Most probably it is because of muscle weakness which causes him to move his eyes in such a way.
He would soon develop weak muscles if he continue using computer or put lot of strain on his eyes.
I would suggest you to take multivitamin capsules (vit A more specifically) and abstain from using computer for long hours. And also go for exercises for eye muscles. It goes like looking right and left and up and Down for at least 10 minutes a day.
Or you can go to an opthalmologist for his checkup and exercises for eyes.

Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
