Explanation

"Prominent nystagmus" refers to a noticeable and significant involuntary movement of the eyes. This condition can cause the eyes to move from side to side, up and down, or in a circular motion without control. It often results from problems with the parts of the brain that control eye movements. This can make it difficult for the person to focus their vision, leading to problems like blurred vision or balance issues.
