Why does my vision move side to side?
Nystagmus is a vision condition in which the eyes make repetitive, uncontrolled movements. These movements often result in reduced vision and depth perception and can affect balance and coordination. These involuntary eye movements can occur from side to side, up and down, or in a circular pattern.
Can your eyes move in different directions?
What is strabismus? Strabismus is a condition in which your eyes point in different directions. Usually one eye is pointed straight ahead and the other is pointed in a different direction.
Why do I have problems with eye movement?
Problems with eye movements and eye position are common after brain injury. These problems are caused by injury to the brain itself and/or to the nerves controlling eye movements.
How does a brain injury affect eye movement?
Brain injury can affect the movement of the eyes in a number of ways: • Scanning and tracking eye movement difficulties: Tracking problems are when the eyes have difficulty following a moving target. Scanning eye movement defects are when the eyes have difficulty in looking between two different objects.
What does it mean when your eyes move up and down?
This is an involuntary movement of the eyes. The eyes can be seen to wobble or oscillate. Most commonly the eyes move from side to side but may move up and down or even in a circular motion. Nystagmus can be present all the time or may only be present when the person looks in a certain direction or if they are concentrating on something.
What to do if your eyes move in the opposite direction?
If you suffer from a certain form of nystagmus, your eyes will move slowly in one direction, and then move rapidly in the opposite direction. Additional diagnostic testing may include: CT scan and/or MRI of your head; Vestibular testing that records the movements of your eyes and response to stimulation
Why are my eyes not moving to the right?
A patient with a right horizontal gaze palsy is unable to move their eyes sideways to the right. As a result they will often turn their face to the right in order to look to the right side because their eyes won’t move in that direction. • Nerve/muscle palsy: This is due to a weakness of one or more of the eye muscles.

What causes eye movement problems after a stroke?
