Posted By Richard Chalkley We have a new employee who is a DSE user and has a visual impairment called congenital nystagmus. As I know nothing about the condition, what support will they need? Any good sources of information? Thanks in advance, Richard.

Posted By David J Bristow Richard Congenital Nystagmus is a condition, which affects the eye muscle (involuntary eye movement). Those having this condition may or may not have in addition to the nystagmus, a visual impairment. Areas to consider would be a larger monitor, clear graphics, zoom text if the person has a visual impairment as well as the nystagmus. Last but not least, more frequent breaks away from the computer to reduce obvious eyestrain, headaches and fatigue. As well as the above, and it has been said many times before on the site, include the person in your assessment – they know their own condition and how it affects them better than anyone else. Hope the above helps. Kind regards David B
