Actually I edited my post because I realized that I think I was confusing the agent used, and now I can't remember. I know there is an agent that can be used to temporarily block the action potentials that make the eye-muscles move but now I'm thinking it may not have been TTX. (Although TTX does definitely do exactly that, it is by no means specific to eye muscle tissue) Since I don't want anyone to inject themselves with something that can easily kill you I edited my post to leave it to the experts.
It was Boutulinum Toxin! Tetrodotoxin has never been used in human subjects as far as I know, but I believe it was used in some perceptual studies in animals...
