I have had nystagmus since birth. A condition where I need to tilt my head for a long period of time, for clearer vision (even though I wear glasses). Do you think that could cause cervical spondylosis?

Such a cervical nystagmus may have a vascular origin by the compression of the arteriae vertebrales, or a proprioreceptive origin via the upper neck joints, or it may possibly be due to functional disturbances of the upper cervical spine. More contact me on line.

Hello. If you have this much severe congenital nystagmus, you may consider surgery for the same. Surgery will be aimed at proper alignment of the eyes, so as to minimise the eyeball movement. That will also help you with your neck movement. Nystagmus for such a long time may lead to cervical contracture if very severe, but not known to cause cervical spondylosis. Consult online for further details about your case in a more personalised way. Also kindly provide photographs with eyes looking in the straight gaze and with gaze where nystagmus is minimum (=null point). Hope this helps. Thank you.
