Vision problem

In the past year I've noticed that when I look at a series of horizontal lines, stacked one above the other, they seem to vibrate. Sometimes this occurs with written text. If I close either eye the vibration stops. But when I open both eyes it starts. To me that sounds like a problem with the coordination of the eyes which may be due to MS. I asked my opthalmologist about it but he didn't have any idea. So I decided to ask the people with more MS experience than anyone else... all of you.
Does this sound like an MS problem? Have any of you had the same experience?

I have developed this in the last year.
If I also close one eye it seems to stop as well.
I have obvious nystagmus in my right eye now though caused by vertigo relapse.

I experience the same thing on occasions. I would like to know whether others experience the same thing..

You people from the distant past got lucky, I went blind in both eyes for a few months when I first got MS. Worry about a lesion on the back of your eye, cause one took out my right eye forever. Not next week lol forever legally blind. You are all very lucky. "I see a dot on the horizon" "Oh yeah, I can see nothing" Optic issues are a part of MS, and anyone who never has to face it is extremely lucky.
