My name is Frankie Caputo and on this podcast I have people from all around the world talk to me about their experience with Nystagmus. From students, to parents, to artists, and everyone in the middle, I want to talk to them all! Having Nystagmus can play a huge role in determining the kind of person someone will become. I want to dig into that and find out how Nystagmus has affected the lives of others and share stories of past experiences.
