Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having shaky eyes, this is called as nystagmus. Nystagmus can be normal physiological event and it can be seen while watching moving objects. If the nystagmus is present even at rest then it requires evaluation.
Nystagmus in adults can be associated with neurological problems, hence this requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you get consultation by a physician or neurologist to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
