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?

Is it normal for our eyes to be making minuscule moments when recording eyes. Very tiny movement. Never rapid or jerky. Extremely tiny. Only happened a couple of times in a minute. Doesnt happen when I focus on things? looks nothing like nystagmus?

I made a video of my eyes. For the most part they stay straight but they did have a little movement after I stared awhile. It was a small movement . It wasnt a jerk or rapid movement. Is this nystagmus? When I focus on something they dont move?
