In my exam rest breaks I would go to the loo, drink some water and close my eyes for a while since they got so worn out. I sort of meditated but mostly just calmed myself down

I recommend rest breaks for many of my students. Hint: If you need your rest break for vision, you should be doing something non-visual during that time.

I have nystagmus and it is severe I take about 4 rest breaks on average a day or more

Rest breaks
Should I go to first aid to lie down at lunch if I need a rest break anything else I could do?

Four rest breaks is totally acceptable and needed. Why not just lay your head down on your desk and close your eyes so you can still listen to instruction?

I would not say they're "needed" when they arise due to using vision when nonvisual approaches would not require them.

Can you explain what you mean by this comment a little more? Are you suggesting you would instead encourage the student to perform tasks non visually to give their eyes a break instead of laying around and doing nothing

That's actually a relevant point. I used to mostly ignore the blackboard and would ask my teachers to speak aloud as they were writing instructions or notes.
In college I'd get all the lecture notes ahead of time and follow along on the computer.
That was much less tiring then staining to read.

Taking a break right now. I usually have to take 5 to 15-minute breaks every 2 - 2.5 hours. When I get migraines, the breaks are longer.
At this time I'm doing online University for Bachelor of Business Administration. It tires out my eyes and hearing quite a bit. Eyes because I have to take notes or do Statistics. Hearing because I have to listen to textbooks where each chapter can be easily 35 to 50 pages. And listening to a chapter in one sitting is quite a bit, especially when it's like 350 words per minute.
During exams, I tend to take 1 - 2-minute breaks every 30 minutes because I don't to get a migraine or an eye ache.

I have rest breaks during exams for dyspraxia, do you have a specific question? (I'm not VI/blind)
Generally during the rest breaks I just contemplate life until my hand stops killing 😭😂
