Idiopathic infantile nystagmus is associated with reduced visual acuity. Recent work has linked extraocular muscle surgery to improvements in visual acuity through childhood but no work has reported long-term secular trends in visual acuity in infantile nystagmus. Our aim is to describe visual acuity changes for children and adolescents with idiopathic infantile nystagmus to allow comparison for future interventional studies.
