Eye wobble is a descriptive term often used to refer to nystagmus, a medical condition characterized by involuntary eye movements.
Understanding Nystagmus
Nystagmus causes the eyes to move uncontrollably, typically shaking back and forth. The movements can vary:
- Direction: Horizontal, vertical, or rotational.
- Severity: Subtle to prominent.
- Speed: Fast or slow.
- Laterality: Usually affecting both eyes.
Essentially, "eye wobble" is a layman's term for this involuntary shaking or oscillating motion of the eyes caused by nystagmus. Nystagmus is the precise medical term to describe the condition known as "eye wobble."
