Question : Hi
im suffering with rotatory nystagmus by birth and im 27 years old.
I heard from one of my colleague that using Brinzotim (Brinzolomide And Timolol Opthalmic suspension) sterile eye drops continously for 3 tears will cure the disease.

Thanks in advance

Brief Answer:
It will only improve the vision to some extent
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
The research has been on few participants only and some case reports. The link to researches is as follows:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/0000
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/0000
https://www.aao.org/editors-choice/brinzolamide-eye-drops-show-promise-infantile-nyst
Dose suggested in one drop in each eye 3 times a day. I do not think it will "cure" the nystagmus. It will only improve the vision to some extent.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
