[Effects of decreased nystagmus amplitude in children periodically exposed to light].

ABSTRACT

The effect of steady-state nystagmus suppression has been found upon periodic light exposure of the eye. The paper describes the exposure facility and procedure based on the changes in the amplitude and frequency of light pulse until there is a response of a patient's nystagmus parameters that are continuously monitored by video-assisted computer system. After periodic light exposures, there was a persistent suppression of nystagmus and a steady-state increase in visual acuity by an average of 0.1.
