Can EES Facial imaging scan people with nystagmus?

Our take

Can EES facial imaging scan individuals with nystagmus? Nystagmus, characterized by involuntary eye movement, can impact the accuracy of facial recognition systems, as experienced by many travelers since 2024. With a trip to Europe on the horizon, concerns arise about how the European Entry System (EES) will handle this condition during border control. Understanding whether EES can effectively recognize those with nystagmus is crucial for ensuring smooth travel into the Schengen area.

I have nystagmus which is involuntary eye-shaking and movement. This appears to throw off the facial recognition systems in airports because I've had problems with them since 2024. I am going to Europe soon and am worried that the EES won't let me in the Schengen area because of my condition. Any knowledge on this out there?
