Can someone tell me more about nystagmus and how it can be treated? Can a near-sighted person with nystagmus undergo laser surgery? Thanks!

Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for nystagmus. If you are albino, the albinism is causing your reduced vision, not the nystagmus.
LASIK is a substitute for glasses. Since glasses don't correct nystagmus LASIK won't either.
The movement of the eye will make it very difficult for the laser surgery to work properly and I doubt if any surgeon would agree to do it.

I would get it if I were you. I know a lot of people in the military that have gotten it. Just get it done a few months before you want to join. The military needs that to see that it worked. Prior to my deployment to Iraq about 5 Soldiers got it and all loved it, and had no issues. The military acctually started to do it now, in Fort Bragg. So if you dont want to pay for it, they may do it for you. And as far as the prescription Ballistic goggles that the military issues, they are crap. If I had to do it over again, I would had gotten LASIK before I deployed and not after. Trust me, get it done, you will have no regrets. Usually the eye DR. likes it if you are 25 or older, or have not had any changes in your prescription in a couple of years.
