Pressor nystagmus

Pressor nystagmus (from the Latin nissus - pulsating, twitching and grados - to bend) is an unusual trembling of the eyeballs during eye movements. Outwardly, it seems that the person is becoming unstable. Most often, the cause is squeezing the upper eyelid with a finger or moistening the nictitating sac, which is a piece of tissue. The nictitating sac is rubbed with soap and placed in the right eye for a few seconds, then in the left for the same amount of time. As the irritation subsides, change the bags. This remedy, according to some sources, has been used in Asia since the time of Hippocrates. Another cause of nystagmus is surgery, which also traumatized the eyeball, but with it there is a mild asymmetry. At the same time, there is a feeling of heaviness at the bottom of the head. A man lifts himself up while lying in bed by his chin, checking the reaction that has arisen. The method has a quick result: the eyeballs stop twitching. But the main thing is that patients soon return to the affected eyelid movement. It is only possible to quickly eliminate weakness of the abductor muscle
