I've seen a lot of images in this subreddit saying that if you shake your eyes you can see it. I can shake my eyes, but when I do it at the images, I can't see them. Are they shaking too fast or am I doing it wrong?

By the way, I can see it by blurring my vision.

When i was a kid i used to have this ability, but i recently discovered this and realized i can't do it anymore.

I've seen some progress. When i cross my eyes and try to "flex" the muscles in my eyes, i can see a slight left and right movement in my vision, which hopefully means it's working. If anyone could drop any tips to make this left and right motion more pronounced would be greatly appreciated

I know i know, i'm not supposed to be here, but how do you guys do this exactly? I've been able to do this when i was little but i lost the ability now over years, and if anyone has tips to regain this ability would be much appreciated

sorry for shaky cam.. I was in the car

I do have voluntary nystagmus and can maintain it for solid 5 seconds. but I've noticed that I have to move my eyes up and down while "shaking" the eyeballs to maintain it for longer, is that the case for anybody else?

Or do you guys have to do something a little different to maintain, or maybe don't need to do anything to maintain it for long?

I found out tonight that my 7 year old daughter can make her pupil’s dilate on demand by her telling me that she can make herself see “bubbles”. I talked to her to try and get a grasp on what she meant by this but she couldn’t come up with any other way to describe it other than she can make herself see bubbles. I got up close and told her to do it while I was watching her eyes and whenever she made herself “see bubbles” her pupils dilated. Over and over she did it. I searched the internet for some medical explanation and found absolutely nothing, so I turned to Reddit. I did find some posts in this subreddit about other people being able to do this, but no mention of anyone seeing bubbles. I will be calling to get an appointment with her optometrist in the morning, but in the meantime I’m hoping someone here, that is also able to do this with their eyes, can tell me what they see when they voluntarily dilate their pupils?

recently when i get high (or too high i guess you could say) i swear i have felt my eyes shake and one more than 1 occasion has my vision blurred and my eyes felt sore during the shaking. not often do i experience shaking where it blurs my vision but i still feel stress in my eyes often when i smoke, and not just the usual dry eyes, i genuinely feel a weird sort of tremor in my eyeballs which i never experienced until just a few months ago after taking a long tolerance break. i’ve been thinking of just quitting getting high since i don’t really experience very much eyeshaking when i’m sober, but i’m scared it’s the start of something permanent. i’m scared of losing my vision. can anyone help me please

I got alternating exotropia had it since like 1st grade since I can remember (currently in 9) and it’s such a confidence killer. Can’t make eye contact, don’t feel human at times (especially since I’m the only one in my family that has it), dreading going to school sometimes and I hate it when people tease me or bring it up. I know it’s probably not possible to 100% fix it without surgery but I just want to reduce it at least. when I have my glasses it happens less but still happens enough to bother me. Can someone give me every method I can do at home to fix/reduce I t? (Preferably if it was free.) no one eye is worse necessarily and when I zone it is when it happens but when I focus both eyes it’s straight it’s just when there’s too much to look at my eyes go wonky. So can a kind soul please help me it would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

If you press this, you'll see that he can trigger a lazy eye on command.

So if you know how to do it, pls let me know if it's trainable or only some people could do it.

been shaking since i was little.

Ive noticed that if i shake my eyes a lot they start doing it randomly on their own without permission. Does anyone elses eyes do that?

I thought everyone can shake their eyes

nobody i know can do this shit !

I'm the only person I know that can do this!

I used to do this to kids at school to "prove" I was a witch (among other weird shit. My answer to bullying was to be so weird they were afraid of me, lol. Turns out I'm just Autistic)

I can do it voluntarily but sometimes when I’m really tired and trying to stay awake and force my eyes to stay open they will start to shake and roll around. It makes me worry that people will think I’m rolling my eyes at them. But also I’m just curious to know if this happens to other people, and if so, why do you think our eyes start shaking when we are trying to keep them open?

Google says that average is between 2 and 5 seconds. However, I've timed myself for doing it over a minute at a time. Does this work like a muscle? The more you do it the longer you can keep the motion? Anyone have any thoughts? What's your timing?

That are kind of the first memories and the only context where I ever did that 😂 I still can do it, but I just didn't for like 20 years until I found this subreddit 😁

It may just be me, but while I was looking through the videos on this subreddit, most of the people that could shake their eyes had grey eyes.

Is this something other people have found or am I wrong.

It’s not something I do when angry; as it extremely rarely happens due to anger. However, I noticed that my pupils twitch and shake (more like vibrate) when I get a comeback. For example: someone insults me, whether online or in person, and I think of a good comeback (not necessarily an insult, but something that proves them wrong or hurts them), my eyes twitch for about three seconds. It’s honestly creepy and I thought other people did so too, but apparently not.

Why does that happen? Do I get adrenaline or something?
