Why do some people's eyes wiggle even when they are staring at something straight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nystagmus: Some people have a condition called nystagmus, usually in the horizontal plane, where the eye is in a constant back & forth scanning mode. A degree of visual impairment is often seen & it can be associated with other eye issues like a very pale retina(ocular albinism). It is nothing they can control but can be found in folks that lead relatively normal lives.
