Nystagmus? Oscillopsia? What weird things do the eyes do on tryptamines?

Is there a word, possibly even a medical term :?: to succinctly explain that WEIRD eye feeling... where the eyes feel prickly and slimy? Like the nerves in the eyeballs are microscopic filaments, and then all of a sudden those filaments stand up like goosebumps?

It happens to me with all tryptamines and LSD. I'm specifically asking because I'm wondering if it's a serotonin thing.

It feels distinctly different from the eye jiggles on MDMA. Nystagmus? I think what I'm trying to find the word for is not nystagmus or oscillopsia. Is there anything that physiologically happens with nerves or blood vessels around the eyes, eye pressure?

One time on Ayahuasca I had the very tactile experience of a dragonfly flying out of my pupil and it was while my eyes felt this way. :shock:

What doctors don't, won't or can't tell you...

1. Translate what you are describing into medical NeoGraeco-Latin.
2. ?
and, obviously,
3. Profit.

Adsperopsia?

2. Tell you you've gone completely bananas :d
3. Profit

Google turned up aeropsia, which is visual snow.

Maybe there isn't a word for weird tactile sensations... if I find one I'll share!

Psychs do all sorts of weird stuff. I, for one, find it really uncomfortable—almost painful, even—to keep my eyes open or my mouth shut during a strong trip. God knows why.

Can't relate to tingly eyeballs, though.
