Eye movement recordings

Nystagmus Discussion Board: Treatments and Surgeries: Eye movement recordings
On August 18th 1999 the following list of researchers and testing areas was posted to the Nystagmus List. This information may become outdated but I will attempt to add or delete as I become aware of changes.

Okay...a couple people requested a list of providers who do eye movement
recordings...here they are. No particular order. Some I know personally,
others I have heard of, some are new to me. If I get any more of these,
I'll send them along. The first person on the list, Dr. Tannen, does
research with biofeedback and nystagmus (I believe the person looking for
research subjects a while ago works with him). He has offered to let me
spend some time in his eye movement recording lab...how cool is that!! Of
course I am taking him up on the offer, and will pass along anything I
learn.

Any ENT or Audiology clinic should have eye tracking devices
available...they use them to test for vestibular functioning, but can check
congenital/acquired waveforms too.

Dr. Hertle at NIH also does recordings.

I live near Amarillo, TX (right smack in the middle of the panhandle). Houston is quite far away, as Texas is a huge state. Is there someone closer who does these eye movement recordings? larger cities that I am a little closer to are Albaquerque, NM; Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX; and Oklahoma City, OK.
Also, I might have missed previous discussions on this subject, but what is the significance of charting the waveforms. I don't know much at all about this subject, so anything you can provide would be helpful. Does it help to determine what kind of N is present? All I know is that I have CN with either optic nerve hypoplasia or atrophy (I have seen both noted on two seperate occasions), esotropia in right eye (surgery at age three), and astigmatism. Given this info and info from a waveform reading, would an ophthalmologist be able to determine if I would be a candidate for N therapies such as neurofeedback? If you would like to respond to me directly, send email to bcrume@tcac.net. Thanks!

The recording of nystagmus (for both oculomotor as well as vestibular testing) was usually performed with electrode-based equipment.

I am the inventor of InfraRed/Video Electronystagmography and Eye Dynamics, Inc., working with the House Ear Clinic in Los Angeles, has now commercialized the use of digital image processing for that same application.

Not only does it give more accurate information (bilateral, monocular 2 channel) but can also be used to observe any torsional eye movements, i.e. those about the visual axis.

To learn more about this methodology, see www.EyeDynamics.com.

I would be pleased to answer any email posts to this newsgroup regarding the technology, its use in eye movement evaluations, etc.

Our two sons have CN. We are curious about how they see. Our oldest son tilts his head to obtain a null point. Is whats seen constantly in motion? We would like to be able to explain what our children are or are seeing to their teachers.
