Sometimes nystagmus can cause problems for you at school, even when you are getting the support that you need in lessons.

Here are a couple of suggestions that some young people with nystagmus came up with,

• When people are nasty to you, you need to explain about nystagmus - don't be afraid to speak the truth.
• If there's a problem with seeing something, tell somebody, don't keep it to yourself.
• Explain to people that glasses and contact lenses don't solve nystagmus.
