Podcast: Treatment for Congenital Nystagmus

Join Akron Children's Hospital March 28th, 12:30 p.m. for a procedure to correct a rare eye condition called congenital nystagmus, which causes rapid, uncontrollable eye movements that often blur vision. Robert Burnstine, M.D., director of pediatric ophthalmology at Akron Children's Hospital, will perform the surgery, while Amarpreet Singh, M.D., will act as a moderator. About one in 3,000 people have congenital nystagmus, and many of these individuals are partially sighted. Some are legally blind. Few can drive a car. And almost all encounter some difficulties in everyday life -- both socially and practically.
