My boyfriend looked at me this evening and asked what was wrong with my eyes. I went and looked at them in the mirror. Without any increase or decrease in light the pupils are expanding and contracting rapidly on their own. They aren't moving side to side or up and down just the weird expanding and contracting of both my pupils. It hasn't stopped since I noticed it. Is this nystagmus or some symptom of ON maybe?

She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...

hippus /hippus/ (hipus) abnormal exaggeration of the rhythmic contraction and dilation of the pupil, independent of changes in illumination or in fixation of the eyes.
hippus
Small rhythmic variations in the size of the pupils. They are present in everybody and increase slightly at high luminances. The frequency of these oscillations is about 1.4 Hz. Hippus may also be associated with systemic disorders such as multiple sclerosis, neurosyphilis and myasthenia gravis.

I watched a video of some girl's eyes with hippus and it looks just like what mine are doing minus the flashlight. If anybody is interested in watching it, here is the link.

I couldn't find very much good information about it, which is frustrating. Has anyone ever heard about this before or know a good online resource?
