Nystagmus... basically tremor of the eye muscles.  Seemed to get worse when I tried to focus on something.

I have that problem sometimes too. It could be stagnus- an abnormal reflex-like thing where the optic nerve is affected and shakes. That what they are checking for at your neuro when they tell you to follow their finger. my eye will shoot off to the side and then back rapidly for a second or two, then be fine. It could also be just another fun muscle spasm, which I have plenty of! Talk to your doctor about it for more info. Good luck!
