Congenital nystagmus surgery is discussed from the standpoint of measuring quantitatively the effects of surgery on the waveform, amplitude, and frequency of the nystagmus oscillation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009759	Nystagmus, Pathologic	Involuntary movements of the eye that are divided into two types, jerk and pendular. Jerk nystagmus has a slow phase in one direction followed by a corrective fast phase in the opposite direction, and is usually caused by central or peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Pendular nystagmus features oscillations that are of equal velocity in both directions and this condition is often associated with visual loss early in life.
