shakey eye problem

I have had problems with my eyes for months now, Theres three main things, one is that when i close my eyes, it feels as if my eyes are moving independantly from eachother,  to the side or rolling up or down and the tissue around the eye feels tight and hte eyelid feels my eye moving, but its  only when my eyes are closed, and when i open my eyes and am looking into a mirror, im not seeing my eyes "moving back into place" persay. they look like they were normal. Then, theres my vision shaking, my eyes feel fine during but the room seems to shake. lastly, theres how long my eyes take to focus on things.   I went to my eye doctor and he dialated my eyes, but found nothing. I have a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so I expressed my concerns about the tendons being lax, the ones that hold my eye? Not that i know much about the anatomy of an eye, but I just mentioned that my condition, which effects all the connective tissue in my body, might play a role in the symptoms? But the doctor concluded it was the pain medications I had been taking, and I accepted that answer.  BUT, months later, I am no longer on any medications, and its still happening. sometimes it seems like its stopped for a few weeks but lately its gotten worse again.  SO I'm going to see a new eye doctor.  i wonder if all its gonna take, is simply the right doctor to find whats wrong?

that website didnt come up wiht anything in its search engine for Neuro-Opthomologists, and it looks more like something for Students or professionals who work in the feild of Opthamology...... :(

I did a search in my insurance to see if any Neuro-Opthomologists accept my insurance (i have OHP, the state health insurance, im working on getting my disability), and there wasnt that name even on the list of specialists to see :(

I will ask around, and ask my doctor, to see if any are in the area and covered by my OHP.

thanks!
