GazeEvoked Nystagmus: Or 'end-point nystagmus'. This can be a normal variant and is experienced on far peripheral gaze for sustained periods of time. It can however be seen with some neurological disorders. If there are any concerns, you should check in with a neurologist to have this evaluated. Take care.
