I don't really know how to explain it. It's just that my eyes will shake really fast or slide around various directions really fast, and I can make the room visually shake and bounce.

Anyone else?

My eyes vibrate when I stare at a screen for too long.

With ME, I think it is generally my right. It IS rare though, and I think it is due to eye strain. It is like a little muscle spasm.

Don't think so, but I have this problem with clear like dots swimming around in my view for as long as I can remember it happens at different times I haven't figured out what triggers it.

Yes, mine do occasionally.

It's not as severe as those of someone I met at a Christian youth conference. His were vibrating so much that if eye contact was ever a problem for me in the past, it certainly was with him. I scoured Wikipedia when I got back from the conference to see what it could have been, but found nothing specific--only that it is a neurological problem that could be a symptom of a multitude of diseases,.

I occasionally get this too. They look just solid enough that I mistook them for bugs the first time it happened, which was early high school. It's hard to say if they're luminous or transparent though.

They said my great-grandma saw "bugs" when she'd get dehydrated, so maybe that's the trigger. It must be a bit more complicated though, since I was taking a bath the first time it happened.

My mom's eyes vibrate, but that's likely due to a pigment deficiency and not neurological, although it gets a lot worse when she cries.

I have the same problem! It hasn't happened for awhile though. (Or if it has I haven't noticed it.)

Also, I know a person at whose eye's vibrate. They vibrate all the time.

See, I can make them do it at will. And they don't do it all the time either.

I went to school with a kid who shook his eyes. But he did it on purpose to freak people out. This kid was weird, I mean weird. Crazy bedhair, a belt that stuck out, braces forever and he was really pale with big eyes. And he'd say stuff that would be funny. If someone tried to tease him or yell at him, he'd stare and shake his eyes at you. It was like he had the last laugh because it was so frightening. He was also enrolled in special ed but we never knew why. (this was 25-30 years ago)

Digressed but I've never heard of anyone else doing it. He did really fast too,

That's it.

Here, check out this video: http://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/pr ... tagmus.avi

I figured it out. Underlying was partially right, it is a form of nystagmus, but the difference is that it's called "voluntary nystagmus." :)
