Fuzzy Eye Sensation

Hi. For the past few months on and off I get a "fuzzy" or almost electrical sensation in my head when I move my eyes. It reminds me of the sensation when you lick a small battery. It is annoying, not painful and comes and goes. I had an MRI on my head for other reasons "old head Injury check up" and there was nothing sinster on the MRI. My vison is fine. Only have a small floater in my right eye and dont require glasses. The sensation lasts for only a split second but is intense enough to be of a worry and when you take into account the amout of time you move your eyes a day is can be very distracting. thanks

Shane, I would have a very complete eye exam with an ophthalmologist looking for any possible abnormalities.  THen consider seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist.  If no problems can be found, I would consider that to be awesome news and consider that you may have some type of strange unknown symptom hopefully with no dangerous side effects or long term problems.  Go ahead and get the full work up but I really don't have any particular disease in mind regarding this.  I would have to wait and see how the workup goes.
