Both my eyes will move back and forth very rapidly out of no where for about 2 to 3 seconds. I want to know what causes it and should I see a doctor

It could be an Ophthalmic Migraine.\n\n"Ophthalmic migraine is quite common. Patients usually experience visual symptoms of seeing bright zig-zag type lines in their central or peripheral (side) vision. These bright lines may have associated flashing light sensations and sometimes can interfere with vision. There are many variations of symptoms. These symptoms usually resolve spontaneously after several minutes but usually less than one hour. Often, rest in a darkened room can be helpful during a migraine attack. Medical treatment is usually not necessary."

I agree with going to see a neurologist. You could be suffering from severe migraines which can cause everything you described. Even more rare is a condition known as "cluster headaches". Cluster headaches can be incapacitating anywhere from 4 hours to 4 months. Check out WebMd.com for more info on them. \n\nDo you where corrective lenses? Could be as simple as eye strain from a bad prescription. Wouldn't hurt to see an eye doctor as well.\n\nAs for your immediate pain, try to sleep on you side or your back with a supportive pillow. Don't use the memory foam type as they do not recover fast enough to support your head, neck and shoulders. Put a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. It helps to align the spine and give you more support. Try ice packs and heat packs. Alternate icing for 20 mins and then heat, then ice again. \n\nYou can also try some light isotonic stretching exercises for your arms, back and neck right before bed to help relax the muscles.\n\nI'm sorry you feel rotten. I hope you feel better soon. I also hope that a good doc will take the time to listen to you.

Sounds like conjunctivitis. An eye infection, it can be caused by allergies, or a number of things. There is over the counter eye drops which should help. There is even special drops specially for conjunctivitis.

me too! Its natural i guess cause my other friends say the same thing. But what is strange to me is that randomly everything in my sight goes blurry completely and I feel like Im going to faint. And what I mean by blurry, I mean seriously blurry like exactly how you become unconcious. And then quickly my vision returns.\nbut check with your doctor. Remember we only have one pair of eyes and cant replace them!

Its called Nystagmus.  It means involuntary movement of the eyes.  If you have not already done so see an eye doctor to rule out any eye diseases and also see your family doctor to rule out neurological problems. Usually it is hereditary and doesn't cause any problems but you MUST rule out serious health problems first.

Talk to your eye doctor!

If it is really persistant go to a doctor but on the whole it is just an electrical feed back thing between nerves. I get it sometimes when I have been doing something like lots of computer work.

I think you need to see a doctor.  It could be a nerve issue or muscle or both, since the nerves and muscles work together.  An opthomologist is who you want to see.

It's your eye.  You only have two.  By definition, that's serious.  I figure you just got something in your eye and it'll be gone shortly.\nBut like I said, this is your eye!  Get it checked as soon as possible.  \n\nPossibilities:\nEyestrain \nFatigue \nSubconjunctival hemorrhage\nRed eye

Twitchy eye is quite funny, like being tickled. It happens when you're tired or stressed, and you think everyone else can see your eye having a little fit, but they can't. I don't know how old you are, but your blurred vision could be 'silent migraine'. This can start in children and as they grow up, the headaches follow. It could also be staring at a computer screen! Have your eyes checked. :-)

If this is suspected, I would take them to the doctor at once!  Any balance abnormalities or lack of normal coordination could be a sign of a serious neurological problem.
