Does anyone have probems with eye movement??

[JoeAnthony]

I have trouble controlling the movement in my left eye..Sometimes I feel that I have to go with movement..I also will shake the side of my face when the twitching in my eye becomes to be to much.. Has anyone ever experienced this??

I have Nystagmus in my right eye.  I supposedly don't have any brain lesions, so I don't know what's causing mine.  I hope yours gets better soon.

That's what we call nystagmus - the involuntary tremor of the eye muscle.  

First time it happened, I was painting in the studio, and the right eye grayed out, so I was having trouble seeing.  Then my eyes started jerking around, so it looked like the room was spinning counterclockwise.  That was weird.  It happened again in Walmart days later, trying to read the small print on a box.  My eyes started vibrating, and I couldn't focus.

Now it's mainly under control - I get a little bit of it when I have to track movement, so I try not to give my eyes too much to do.  And my peripheral vision isn't as good as it used to be.
