  1. physiological nystagmus

    Physiological nystagmus is a natural, involuntary, rhythmic oscillation or movement of the eyes that is normal and usually undetectable without special equipment. This condition often serves to help individuals maintain a stable gaze or visual field despite minor head motions. It typically manifests in two forms: optokinetic nystagmus, which assists in stabilizing vision by moving the eyes in the opposite direction of head motion, and vestibular nystagmus, which functions in response to changes in head positioning detected by the inner ear's vestibular system. Not to be confused with pathological nystagmus, which is abnormal and linked to visual impairment or neurological issues.
