What are the causes of eyes to quiver or shake back and forth rapidly?

Nystagmus: What you describe sounds like a condition called nystagmus. There are multiple types of nystagmus with multiple causes. If you think you are developing nystagmus, you should be seen by an ophthalmologist, as it could indicate a serious medical condition.
