It's unlikely. Perhaps his memories passed in front of his eyes, or, her memories passed in front of her eyes.

Thanks.
So if the memories of someone else were passing in front of someone else's eyes, how can we say it?

Are you writing a fantasy novel in which a character can see into the mind if another person?

I'm talking about a boy who has lost his girl friend. Now he is thinking about the memories they had with each other.

I see. That would be "memories of her" not "her memories." The latter are in her head and unless you have magical or psychic powers, you can't see them.
