Can a child with nystagmus see as well as a normal child sees possibly?

My grandson was recently diagnosed with nystagmus and I am curious about his ability to see now and in the future. Nystagmus is involuntary darting of the eyes. My grandson is 4 months old, and he doesn't focus, he looks up most of the time and leans his head way back. My guess is that he can see better or can see period when his head is in that position. I am just worried about him. Thanks, any help is certainly appreciated.
