Hello
It seems from the history that you are having jerking movements in the eyes which followed a injury to the head.
This is called as nystagmus. The causes include ocular causes and neurological causes.This requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
