I wouldn't rule out nerve damage, disc damage, tissue damage etc even after all these years. My accident was a year ago, and we are finding out more and more layers. The system is so finely tuned, that if the spine gets misaligned, it be so for years.
Her visual system seems very delicate-It must be so hard to help. What the Berkeley clinic taught me was that the eyes are connected to the brain. Being able to see correctly relies on the brain and vestibular systems being in order.
Has an ENT (Ear nose throat) specialist check out her vestibular/ inner ear system?
Big hugs to you both....
