Nistagm
Children are a disease that externally manifests,
that the child can not fix the look, his eyes constantly
Make involuntary oscillatory movements, «Run».
Normally at birth with a child's acuity of vision is still low,
and eyes do not fix objects, «Wandering».
But by the first month of life, the child can already follow
for a toy, he clearly fix the object.
Nistagm in children is a disease that appears externally
the fact that the child can not fix the look, his eyes constantly
Make involuntary oscillatory movements.
Congenital nystagm in children is found quite rare. Cause
Children's Nistagma may be disorders in the central nervous
system, both congenital character and due to generic
Injuries. Another reason for nystagma in children is albinism.
Albinism is a hereditary disease manifested
Reduction or complete absence of skin pigmentation, hair, eyes
(Circumcissed albinism), or only eye (eye albinism). Children
Albinism has white skin; eyebrows, eyelashes and hair
Absolutely deprived of pigment. Due to the lack of pigment in the retina
The functions of its nerve cells are disturbed, in addition, in children
with albinism initially there are disorders, as in Central
Retinal areas and visual nerves. Therefore
There is a children's nystagm.
Nistagm in children in almost all cases is combined as
with organic (irreversible) changes in visual
System (partial atrophy of the optic nerve, dystrophic changes
on the eye day) and functional (reversible)
Violations. Functional disorders in children's nystagme develop
Against the background of concomitant pathology, primarily hyperopia,
Astigmatism, myopia or squint. With these diseases
A blurred fuzzy image is formed on the eye.
A constant movement of eyeballs is added to this
And image offset. As a result, in higher departments
The central nervous system is transmitted a fuzzy picture, so
Summary cerebral cerebral cells are not developing enough
and visual acuity decreases.
Nistagma treatment
Nistagma treatment in children can only be started after
Comprehensive examination. In addition to surveys from the children's
Ophthalmologist Committed Neuropathologist. If necessary
Neuropathologist appointed additional research (EEG, ECHO-EGO,
MRI). This is necessary to evaluate the functions of the central nervous system.
The survey from the ophthalmologist includes as a study
The main visual functions (visual acuity, the state of optical media,
Eye DNA, optic nerve, study of glasses
apparatus) and deeper electrophysiological
Research (EFI). With the help of EFF, you can objectively evaluate
The state of the visual-nervous apparatus from the retina to the bark
brain. This is necessary to determine the level of lesion
In a conductive system and determining the tactics of the treatment of nystagma
in children.
In the presence of concomitant refractive pathology (hyperopia,
Myopia, astigmatism) Points are assigned to the child. However, one
Wearing glasses in the treatment of children's nystagma is not enough. Necessary
Complex treatment of nystagma in children, including methods
Conservative and Surgical Treatment of Children's Nistagma.
Conservative Hardware Treatment of Nistagma in children directed
to increase visual acuity. It is conducted by courses
for 2-3 weeks, several times a year. Treatment of childish
Nistagma lies in various methods of stimulation of visual
Systems. For its holding, permission from a neuropathologist.
In addition to conservative methods of treating nystagma in children
There are surgical methods for the treatment of children's nystagma. Operations
The treatment of nystagma in children is aimed at reducing amplitude
and frequency of oscillatory eye movements. Surgery
Children's Nistagma is conducted as a stage of complex treatment of this
Pathology.
A child with Nistagm must be under the supervision of a doctor
As long as the processes of active growth and development go,
T.E. up to 14 - 15 years. With timely treatment
Nistagma in most cases can be improved
visual sharpness and reduce its amplitude.
In Nistagma due to constant vibrational movements of the eyes
Children falls eyesight, and it has a serious impact
on the formation of the whole visual system of the child. Therefore, treatment
must be started as early as possible to prevent further
Reducing visual acuity . As the visual system of the child is
in constant development, young children have everything
Applied treatment methods are more effective.
