Abstract
Congenital nystagmus (CN) is an aperiodic oscillatory eye movement disorder of unknown etiology. We examined the effect of horizontal rectus tenotomy with simple re-attachment on the dimensionality of the dynamical mechanism underlying CN. The correlation dimensions (CDs) were calculated from eight patients who had tenotomy surgery. We found no significant differences in the CDs that could be associated with the surgery. The change in dimensionality was less than 5% on average. The results suggest that the tenotomy has no effect, or only a quite small effect, on the underlying mechanism of the CN beats.
