My eyes move sideways rapidly for a split second. I have dry eye but flaxseed oil has helped greatly. Anyone?

My question...

My doctor and 2 opthamologists I see, both tell me they have never heard of my eye symptom I will describe, which just makes me even more concerned about it.

This used to happen only a few times a week, but now happens everyday a few times usually.

If my eyes are focused on 1 word when I read something or if my eyes are focused on the tip of a pen when I am writing, in my field of vision my eyes will do what I am terming "a jitter." Seems to happen more so when I am writing.

It happens in an instant, but both eyes will very rapidly move from side to side, maybe 5 or 6 times in a row. Not sure if it is indeed the eyes themselves or just what I see. Sometimes I will even shake it off after it did it, with my head. This whole thing lasts maybe a split second. And no one I have every described this to has ever had it or heard of it either.

So I'm wondering if this is a sign of something coming... a tumor, more serious eyes problems such as blindness in the future?
