Why is it that when I stare at something long enough it starts to move?
Oscillopsia is a vision problem in which objects appear to jump, jiggle, or vibrate when they’re actually still. The condition stems from a problem with the alignment of your eyes, or with the systems in your brain and inner ears that control your body alignment and balance.
What happens if you stare into your eyes for too long?

How long should I look into someones eyes?
To maintain appropriate eye contact without staring, you should maintain eye contact for 50 percent of the time while speaking and 70\% of the time while listening. This helps to display interest and confidence. Maintain it for 4-5 seconds. Once you establish eye contact, maintain or hold it for 4-5 seconds.
Why do my eyes get blurry when I stare at things?
My best explanation would be that staring for too long results in tiring your eyes. As your eyes tire out you begin to have trouble focusing on the object, making it go a bit blurry. When refocusing your eyes, your left eye for example, might refocus a bit quicker than your right, causing you to focus more on the left eye’s vision.
Why do my eyes move to the left when I focus?
When refocusing your eyes, your left eye for example, might refocus a bit quicker than your right, causing you to focus more on the left eye’s vision. This causes a slight shift in perspective as you start to see things more from your left side, creating the illusion of a slight “movement” to the right.
What happens to Your Eyes as you get older?
Some of the age-related changes in the eyes are annoying but not serious — for example, it can become difficult to focus on near objects, and eyelashes may thin out a bit. But other changes can be serious eye problems that threaten vision.
What does it mean when you lock eyes for a long time?
