Strange eye movements?
Hello,
Sometimes - very rarely - when my eyes are stressed and tired, and I look at something up close, my eyes shake side to side really quickly for a few seconds until I look away and close my eyes to make it stop. I've had this for a couple of years and it's not really bothering me. Is this nystagmus and if so, should I get it checked out? I'm 17 y male and slightly shortsighted.

This has been answered. You need to see an ophthalmologist. However, I doubt this is a serious problem at your age.
