What you described is not a cause for concern. Try to take short breaks when you have to look at your phone or other screen for a long time. Wish you good health!

One second rapid movement of eyes crossing then re focusing. Only happens when I look at my phone too long and its only happened a handful of times. Does not look like strabismus or nystagmus videos. Its very quick. Maybe less than a second even?
