My left eye seems to drift off

I'm a generally healthy 28 year old. Recently I noticed my left eye has been drifting to the left multiple times a day. It usually happens if I'm looking at one specific thing for a while. Additionally, a friend noticed that when I was looking down at my phone, both eyes darted back and forth very quickly 3 or 4 times. I did not notice that they did that, as there was no change in my vision at that moment. It looked to me like I was just looking at my phone. 

I don't know if these things are cause for concern. I want to get someone's opinion before going to an ophthalmologist and shelling out money I don't have.

    It might be Intermittent Exotropia. Do an online search about this and read to find out if those are the symptoms you have.
