nystagmus

Read a random definition: Spending power

A quick definition of nystagmus:

NYSTAGMUS: Nystagmus is when your eyes move quickly and uncontrollably. This can happen when you take drugs or drink alcohol. Doctors can test for nystagmus by watching your eyes move from side to side.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Nystagmus is a condition where the eyes make rapid, involuntary movements. This can happen horizontally, vertically, or in a circular motion. It can be caused by various factors such as neurological disorders, inner ear problems, or drug/alcohol use.

Example: A person with nystagmus may have difficulty reading or focusing on objects. They may also experience dizziness or vertigo.

Explanation: Nystagmus causes the eyes to move uncontrollably, which can make it hard for a person to see clearly. The rapid eye movements can also cause feelings of dizziness or disorientation.

Example: During a field sobriety test, a police officer may use the horizontal-gaze nystagmus test to check for signs of alcohol impairment. They will ask the person to follow a moving object with their eyes while keeping their head still. If the eyes make jerking movements, it could indicate intoxication.

Explanation: Alcohol can affect the brain's ability to control eye movements, leading to nystagmus. The horizontal-gaze nystagmus test is a way for police officers to detect possible alcohol impairment in a person's system.
