How Cops Can Tell if You're Drunk By Looking At Your Eyes! (nystagmus)

What are cops looking for in your eyes when you are intoxicated? Being drunk can cause an end-point nystagmus, which is a flutter or shake of the eyes when looking at a certain angle.

People who have nystagmus without being drunk

[AuthorMarkCarlson]

I thought the cops were just looking into my eyes because they were flirting with me.

[lisasimonson]

My field sobriety test took an hour and 36 minutes and during the horizontal gaze the officer administering the test was shining a bright blinding light in my eyes and I stated five times that I was being blinded by the light. I have several medical conditions and medications which caused failure. If you have a court appointed attorney this will not be brought into consideration.

[davekraszewski]

Thank you finally someone explained this!

[destinyedwards]

I feel like this could be a problem for people with a nystagmus due to a medical condition.

[wahatda]

They're checking your Mewing progress.

[karenconley]

I don't drink at all but I do have nystagmus all the time. What would happen if I happened to be pulled over even though I am not intoxicated?

[HumorousHearsay]

For everyone saying the have nystagmus, this is why there are multiple levels to a field sobriety test. They aren't going to take you to jail (or I should say the absolutely shouldn't take you) based off the failure of one test.

[Zenichen]

That's the basic of the diferrences, thanks!!

[Xane_Dragon]

I thought they were checking to see if the alcohol saturation level was in your eyes 😂

[Chasereraser]

I permanently have it. Let’s hope I don’t get pulled over!

[Drazzarki]

I can jitter & flutter my eyes whenever i want. I have (without being drunk) the possibilty or the muscles to do this. I think this is not normal but i can <3

[Trouble-Clef]

I get nystagmus from my epilepsy. I may get it mildly enough that I don’t notice it, but I’ve definitely had it so bad that I couldn’t even stand up. I don’t have to have a traditional seizure, or what people perceive a seizure looks like, but I know the nystagmus is and of itself a seizure

[IcebulletZ]

They're also looking for overall eye control, pupil dilation and at the whites of your eyes. I can't pass the HGN regardless of sobriety due to eye problems. I find cops are usually pretty forgiving if you're honest. I just say I have a bad astigmatism, lazy eye and dystonia causing involitary movements. This is actually part of most regular neuro exams.

[fltngmmth]

Bro got wasted just to get that one second clip of his eyes going ♨️♨️

[katdiangelo]

My sister and I both have nystagmus, hers was her only real eye problem, and she had to have surgery to get it fixed so she could drive. Mine is apparently so minor that nobody thought it important to tell me about.

[joe]

There are a lot of people who have a beating nystagmus at end ranges of eye motion. It’s pretty common

[MaxMorales-nq]

...there're looking for to be lost in someone's eyes...😂

[marleymars]

Never consent to tests from traffic cops.

[kingoisfaded]

Nah he def tellin the truth I’m drunk asf rn looking at my pen movjn it left and right and my eyes can’t sync with the movement
