What is nystagmus?

Nystagmus is an eye condition that causes involuntary, repetitive eye movements, leading to blurred vision. Richard Osman's experience highlights how it can make tasks like reading an autocue or looking directly at a camera challenging. It's a lifelong condition, meaning it's present from birth and currently has no cure.
