No: What you are describing would appear to be "nystagmus". You should see an opthalmologist or a neurologist sooner than later!

Get checked please: Uncontrolled movements of the eyes is a condition known as nystagmus. It is a complex disease needing a neurologist or ophthalmologist to evaluate. It is important to get examined because this type of eye movement of the eye can be associated with brain abnormalities. Please get to a doctor and feel better...

Nystagmus: Is lateral "shaking" of eyeballs, but usually on lateral gaze and bilateral. If accompanied by vertigo, it is probably just labyrinthitis and benign. If you have severe vertigo, nausea, vomiting, orheadaches, it could be a brain tumor, so see your doctor about this.
