Dutch term or phrase: fijnslagige nystagmus ODS
Ik weet dat de term 'fijnslagige' ook in combinatie als "fijnslagige tremor", vookomt, zoals het licht trillen van met name handen en vingers.

Nystagmus blijft gewoon nystagmus.

OD is 'rechteroog' en OS is 'linkeroog', ook in het Engels zo gebruikt -- is ODS dan zowel linker als rechteroog?

Dank bij voorbaat!

fine jerk nystagmus of both eyes
Explanation:
nystagmus is a tremor - and is the term used when a tremor applies to the eyes. There are very many types of nystagmus. One often finds the word fijn or fine used on its own with nystagmus but fine jerk nystagmus describes a particular type of movement of the eye.

bilateral fine jerk nystagmus


Explanation:
Would agree with 'fine jerk nystagmus of both eyes' but just wanted to add that 'bilateral' is a tidy way to say 'of both eyes'.
