Summary:

The data about results of treatment of nystagmus by periodic light influence are brought. 56 patients with various kinds of nystagmus received the treatment. After treatment the stable reduction of nystagmus' amplitude was observed in 85 % of cases. The efficiency of treatment raised at reduction of a time interval between repeated courses of treatment. It is marked, that at an arrangement of light sources along the horizontal axis parallel to an axis of eyes' arrangement, at vertical and rotator nystagmus light influence can suppress, for example, a horizontal component of nystagmus, poorly influencing on its vertical component. It is shown, that accommodation of light sources in these cases in a frontal plane with an opportunity of a choice of it's position can raise efficiency of treatment of vertical or rotator nystagmus
