What you described does not suggest nystagmus. If your vision is as it has been, you need not be concerned. 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?

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?

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?
