No. It is an eye movement disorder. It is thought to be caused by a blood vessel being too close to the trochlear nerve that controls the Superior Oblique muscle of the eye. The blood vessel aggrevates the nerve, making the muscle contract, which moves the eye. There is no interaction with the structures within the eye that enable you to see.

I have SOM and while it's pretty annoying, with the vision in one eye jumping around so much, I don't have any worries about it. If you're worried or feel you need more information about SOM, go see your opthamologist.
