Nystgamus is a condition in which the eye makes repetitive, uncontrolled/involuntary movements which result in reduced vision and depth perception and can affect the balance and coordination. The cranial nerves III (oculomotor), IV (trochlear) and VI (abducens) control the position of the eyeballs, if these three cranial nerves are damaged then the above condition will occur.
